Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution: The root-mean-square speed

2 years ago

Starting with the Maxwell-Boltmann distribution expression from the previous post, \begin{equation} f(v)\,dv = 4\pi v^2\left(\frac{m}{2\pi k_BT}\right)^{3/2}\exp\left[\frac{-mv^2}{2k_BT}\right]\,dv \end{equation} We determined the…
