Dust particles are pulverized rock, which has density 2500 kg/m3. They are approximately spheres 20 μm in diameter. Treating dust as an ideal gas, what is the root-mean-square speed (thermal speed) of a dust particle at 400°C? (The Boltzmann constant is 1.38 × 10-23 J/K.)
A) 5.2 × 10-5 m/s
B) 1.7 × 10-5 m/s
C) 3.0 × 10-5 m/s
