Molecules of a Cal Poly Pomona ACME gas are crossing a given plane of a spherical shell unit area in unit time. Show
that the average total kinetic energy of the molecules is K.E. = 2kT, where k = Boltzmann's constant. Recall, the
emitted beam of molecules has a mean squared velocity
NPA|
and the volume of the shell is
V = 47v dv
And thus, the fraction of molecules with velocities in the range v to v+dv is given by the Maxwell relation
