Relationship between most probable speed & rotation speed (gas)

[Clairepie]

Homework Statement

Calculate Speed (v sub mp) and rotation speed (\omega

Homework Equations

(v sub mp) =Sq rt (2kT/m)
<V>= 2/ (sqr rt pi )(V sub mp)
Vrms = sq rt (3/2) X V sub mp

How do I relatate these to rotational speed?

The Attempt at a Solution

Yo mamma

The numbers came out correct where V sub mp < <V> <vrms

But what about poor little omega...

Thanks chaps

show us your work. when you are stuck, we are here to help.

by the way make the question clear? is the gas mono or di or poly-atomic? use the concept of rotational degrees of freedom of gas molecules.

Monatomic :-) I will look at degrees of freedom for monatomic gases.
