Gas particles travel at speeds of up to 500 meters per second then why does it take so long for gas molecules to travel the length of a room?

Because gas molecules continually collide with others. The result is a random path (known mathematically as a drunkard's walk) which results in a very long time to cover a significant distance.

How do you convert cubic meter per second to meter per second?
You cannot convert cubic meters per second to meters per second. You cannot convert volume to length.
The lenth of second's pendulum of the earth is about 1 m What should be the length of second's pendulum on the moon?
If the length of the second pendulum of the earth is about 1 meter, the length of the second pendulum should be between 0.3 and 0.5 meters.
What is 4 hours and 48 mins in meters per second?
4hours 48minutes = 288minutes = 17,280seconds. No length is mentioned in the question, so 'meters' is not involved.
What is the length of the third side of a triangle when the first side is 7.050 meters long and the second side is 6 meters long?
That depends entirely on the size of the angles !
How many meters per second are there in 1 kilo meters per second?
There are 1000 meters/second in 1 kilo meters/second
SI units for time length speed and velocity?
The SI unit for time is seconds (s), for length is meters (m), for speed is meters per second (m/s), and for velocity is also meters per second (m/s).
Find the missing length of two similar rectangles the first one has length n meters and the with 8 meters the second has the length 15 meters ad width 10 meters?
n:8 15:10 n=12
How do you convert cubic meter per second to meter per second?
You cannot convert cubic meters per second to meters per second. You cannot convert volume to length.

If the length of the second pendulum of the earth is about 1 meter, the length of the second pendulum should be between 0.3 and 0.5 meters.
What stream measurement is taken in meters?
In meters you can measure the length of a section, the average depth and the speed can be expressed in meters per second
Convert cubic meters per second to meters per second?
You cannot convert volume and length without knowing the dimensions and shape involved
Convert 94 cubic meters per second to meters per second?
You cannot convert volume and length without knowing the dimensions and shape involved
What is a Millionth of a Second?
A millionth of a second is one microsecond. It is the length of time a beam of light, traveling about 3 x 108 meters per second, will take to go about 300 meters.
What are the corrrect metric units to measure speed and length?
The correct metric unit to measure speed is meters per second (m/s) and for length it is meters (m).
What is the unit for acccleration?
The SI unit is meters/second2 (meters/second/second). Any other unit of length divided by a time unit squared (or even a unit of length divided by two different time units) will do as well.
What is the average speed in meters per second at 20 degrees Celsius the average velocity of N2 molecules in air is 1050 mph?
To find the average speed in meters per second, we first convert 1050 mph to meters per second. Given that 1 mile is equal to 1609.34 meters and 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds, we can convert mph to meters per second. The average speed of N2 molecules in air at 20 degrees Celsius is approximately 469 meters per second.
What is average speed SI unit?
Since length is measured in meters, and time in seconds, it follows that speed is measured in meters/second.
