What is the average translational kinetic energy of molecules in an ideal gas at 37°C? The average translational energy of a molecule is given by the equipartition theorem as, E = 3kT 2 where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.

Explanation:

The average translational energy of a molecule is given by the equipartition theorem as, E = 3kT 2 where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.
