the expression is

v_{av}=\sqrt{\frac{2kT}{m}}

ya i think yes vectorially...........
as they will be roaming in all directions...........its average velocity will be zero as all of them cancel away......VECTORIALLY.....

can u tell if the Q is complete or not...coz, in case the Q says in a container then , we can say that it returns to its mean position....
so no displacement and so 0 velocity

@ akand,its not of molecules....its molecule

wel mue i dont think os its done like that............the number of particles going out of a plane and coming into it is taken equal....so the net velocity is ZERO..............

and abhirup i think tht exp is for avg speed.......

but mue...........even if it was in a container wat gurantee can u give tht d molecule will come into its mean position?????

we can guarantee, coz they r always in random motion.........

kab tak bach ke bhagta rahega us position se...........

when all the positions will be covered up, then atleast it will come to its mean position.......[3]

hehe.....its not necesari tht if u have crossed a particular position....then u cant come back to it untill u crossed all spaces rite???

i said even if it does not come b4 crossing.........
means, if it comes earlier, then itz ok, but if not, at last it will have to.....now, 1 thing'z there, u agreed that it will cm and so in a container itz 0, but the Q boy'z gone...he did not ans my doubt
