The equation defining the root-mean-square speed of a gas particle shows that urms as temperature increases. It also indicates that the urms of a heavier gas particle is than that of a lighter gas particle at the same temperature.

The california mussel (mytilus californianus) attaches itself to a rock or other solid surface with a bundle of filaments known as the byssus. imagine that 15.0 j of work is done to stretch the distal end of the byssus. it releases 10.8 j of thermal energy as it relaxes. what is the resilience of the distal end of the byssus?
