Answer:

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

Explanation:

The most probable speed:

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2K_bT}{m}}

K_b= Boltzmann’s constant =1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K

T = temperature of the gas

m = mass of the gas particle.

Given, m = 6.65\times 10^{-27} kg

T = 6.4 K

Substituting all the given values :

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 6.4 K}{6.65\times 10^{-27} kg}}

v_{mp}=162.78 m/s

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

Forces that act in equal and opposite directions on an object
Akimi4 [234]
These are known as balanced forces because they will not change the motion of the object, and it will remain at rest unless forces become unbalanced- meaning they would be unequal and not opposing.

Why do we say that Neptune was the first planet to be discovered through the use of mathematics?
puteri [66]

Answer:

explained

Explanation:

the Neptune was the first planet discovered through the use of mathematics by two astronomers one French and other English. This was breakthrough success in the field of astronomy that marked the importance of mathematics in astronomy. The discovery of the Neptune resulted from the need to explain the motion of Uranus, motion of which could not be explained by the gravitational effect of Jupiter and Neptune.It needed very complex mathematical equations to be Solved to explain it.  The two astronomers were Joseph le Verrier and John Couch Adams.
