the avg molecular velocity in a gas sample at 300K is 500 m/s. The temperature of this gas is increased until the avg velocity is 100m/s. What is the new temp?


When I tried, I got 600K, the correct answer is 1200K.

I am unsure what specific concept this is, let alone the correct formula to apply.

Thanks so much!
