Maxwell Speed DistributionWhat is the average speed?
Maxwell Speed Distribution
Example: Nitrogen @ 300KFor Monday:
(a) Show the maximum probability speed is 517 m/s.
(b) Show the average speed is 476 m/s.
(c) Show the rms speed is 422 m/s.
(d) Calculate the probability of a molecule moving faster than 1000 m/s. (Need Maple or Mathematica)
