Concept explainers
The velocities of gas particles can be modeled by the Maxwell distribution, whose probability density
where m is the mass of the particle, K is Boltzmann’s constant, and T is the absolute temperature.
- a Find the mean velocity of these particles.
- b The kinetic energy of a particle is given by (1/2)mV2. Find the mean kinetic energy for a particle.
