In 1995 a research group led by Eric Cornell and Carl Wiemann at the University of Colorado successfully cooled Rubidium atoms to the 20-200 nK temperature range. Assuming (incorrectly) that the Rubidium atoms behave like particles of a classical ideal gas, calculate the RMS speed of a Rubidium atom at a temperature of 64 nK. (In the experiments one particular isotope of Rubidium was used, Rubidium-87. The molar mass of this isotope is 86.91 g/mol.)
