**Problem 37:**

The average value of the squared speed \(\overline{v^2}\) does not equal the square of the average speed \((\overline{v})^2\). To verify this fact, consider three particles with the following speeds: \(v_1 = 3.0 \, \text{m/s}\), \(v_2 = 7.0 \, \text{m/s}\), and \(v_3 = 9.0 \, \text{m/s}\). Calculate: 

(a) \(\overline{v^2} = \frac{1}{3}(v_1^2 + v_2^2 + v_3^2)\)

(b) \((\overline{v})^2 = \left[\frac{1}{3}(v_1 + v_2 + v_3)\right]^2\)
