A uniform wheel of radius R is set into rotation about its axis at an angular speed $\omega.$ This rotating wheel is now placed on a rough horizontal surface with its axis horizontal. Because of friction at the contact, the wheel accelerates forward and its rotation decelerates till the wheel starts pure rolling on the surface. Find the linear speed of the wheel after it starts pure rolling.

From a certain apparatus, the diffusion rate of hydrogen has an average value of $28.7cm^3 s^{-1}$. The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured to have an average rate of $7.2cm^3 s^{-1}$. Identify the gas. [Hint: Use Graham’s law of diffusion $\frac{\text{R}_1}{\text{R}_2}=\Big(\frac{\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1}\Big)^{\frac{1}{2}},$ where $R_1 , R_2$ are diffusion rates of gases 1 and 2, and $M_1$ and $M_2$ their respective molecular masses. The law is a simple consequence of kinetic theory]

When an electron goes from the valence band to the conduction band in silicon, its energy is increased by 1.1eV. The average energy exchanged in a thermal collision is of the order of kT which is only 0.026eV at room temperature. How is a thermal collision able to take some of the electrons from the valence band to the conduction band?
