At 20 °C, ozone molecules, O3, have an average velocity of 390 m/s, and oxygen molecules, O2, have an average velocity of 478 m/s. If these gases are at the same temperature, they have the same average kinetic energy. Explain in qualitative terms how these gases could have the same average kinetic energy but different average velocities.
