More than one distinct microstate of a system can have a particular energy (a macrostate). The purpose of this interactive examp
le is to ensure that you know how to deal with this fact when calculating the probability that a small system (here, a molecule) in contact with a thermal reservoir has a particular energy. Let's consider a molecule that can be in one of six microstates. It exchanges energy with a thermal reservoir at a temperature T. One microstate has energy EA, two states have energy EB = 3EA, and three states have energy EC = 5EA. To simplify the numerical calculation, you may assume that the temperature is such that kBT = EA. What is the probability that the molecule has energy EB? P(EB) =

Answer:
43.88 meters per second
Explanation:
The computation of the speed is shown below:
As we know that
where,
Distance is 395,000 meters
Time is 9,000 seconds
Now placing these values to the formula
So, the speed is
= 43.88 meters per second
As speed shows the relation between the distance and time and the same is to be considered i.e by applying the formula
