The root mean square speed of a gas is calculated through the equation,
Vrms = sqrt (3RT/M)
where:
Vrms = root mean square velocity/speed
R = universal gas constant
T = temperature
M = molar mass of the gas
Fluorine gas is a diatomic particle, F2, with a molar mass equal to 37.997 g/mol. Substituting the known values to the equation,
Vrms = sqrt (3)(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(425 + 273.15)) / 37.997 g/mol))
Vrms = sqrt ((3)(0.0821 L atm)(101325 kg/ms²/1 atm))(698.15 K) (1 m³/1000L)/ (37.997 g)(1 kg/1000g))
Vrms = 25.63 m/s
ANSWER: 25.63 m/s
The elephant has more inertia than the dog so it takes more force to change the motion of the elephant.
