2.2 Exercise 15

Avg difficulty 2.5

In the problems in this section, assume all gases are ideal.

What is the ratio of the average translational kinetic energy of a nitrogen molecule at a temperature of 300 K to the gravitational potential energy of a nitrogen-molecule−Earth system at the ceiling of a 3-m-tall room with respect to the same system with the molecule at the floor?
