At a certain temperature, the speeds of six gaseous molecules in a container are 2.0,2.2,2.6, 2.7,3.3, and 3.5 m/s. Calculate the root-mean-square speed and the average speed of the molecules. These two average values are close to each other, but the root-mean-square value is always the larger of the two. Why?
