maxwell law of molecular velocities

Avogadro's law has been useful in substantiating a number of important laws and concepts. It has helped in the following areas: In explaining Gay Lussac's law of gaseous volumes. In determining the atomicity of gases. In determining the molecular formula of a..

Determination of the molecular formula of a gas. Determination of the atomicity of the gas. Determination of the molecular weight and vapor density. Explains relationship between gram molecular weight and gram molecular volum..

Earlier we have mentioned that application of force can change the velocity of the moving object. Let us suppose that a body of mass 'm' is moving with a velocity 'u'. When a force F is applied on the body for 't' seconds, the velocity changes from the initial vel..

Sliding friction opposes the applied force and has a constant value. Normal reaction and force of sliding friction are proportional quantities. Keeping normal reaction constant, the frictional force is independent of the surface area in contact. For reasonable velocities, the v..

Introduction - We have learnt about the motion of objects based on the definition of displacement, velocity and acceleration. Now let us see the causes that influence the motion of bodies. Have you wondered why certain natural phenomena occur and why they continue to occur in the same way..

Graham's law is useful in: Separation of gases having different densities by diffusion. Determining the densities and molecular masses of unknown gases by comparing their rates of diffusion with known gases. Separating the isotopes of some of the element..

Law of Conservation of Momentum - From Newton's third law of motion we know that whenever a force is applied on a body there will be an equal and opposite reaction. Action and reaction forces result in change in velocities of both the bodies which in turn change the mo..

Summary - Inertia is the inability of material body to change, by itself, its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line. Mass is a measure of inertia Newton's first law of motion: A body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line unless an extern..

From kinetic theory, Since the rate of diffusion of a gas is determined by the molecular speed,..

The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in which the force is applied. For a constant mass system We have already learnt that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration where k is the constant of proportiona..
