someone please help me, this is physics. :))))

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

show that \[v_{avg} = \sqrt{\frac{8kT}{\pi m}}\] \[v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m}}\]

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

\[v_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{2kT}{m}}\]

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

using the following, \[\int\limits_{0}^{\infty} v^2 e^{-\lambda v^2} dv = \frac{1}{4} \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{\lambda^3}} \] \[\int\limits_{0}^{\infty} v^3 e^{-\lambda v^2} dv = \frac{1}{2 \lambda^2}\] \[\int\limits_{0}^{\infty} v^4 e^{-\lambda v^2} dv = \frac{3}{8} \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{\lambda^5}}\]

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

where \[v_{avg} = average speed\] \[v_{rms} = root mean square speed\] \[v_{p} = mostprobablespeed\]

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

Start with the Boltzmann distribution for the speed of particles in an ideal gas at fixed temperature T\[P(v) dv = N v^2 e^{-{mv^2} \over {2kT}} dv\] Let \[\lambda = m/KT\] Integrate from 0 to infinity and set the answer =1 to find N. multiply by v and integrate to find the average speed. multiply by v^2, integrate, and take a square root to find v_rms
