Consider a collection of identical, classical (i.e., with η ≪ 1) particles with a distribution function N that is thermalized at a temperature T such that kBT ≪ mc2 (nonrelativistic temperature).(a) Show that the distribution function, expressed in terms of the particles’ momenta or velocities in their mean rest frame, is
![N = 8se/(KBT) e-p/(2mk BT), where p where p = [p] =](https://dsd5zvtm8ll6.cloudfront.net/si.experts.images/questions/2023/04/6442d7ec97e10_2526442d7ec34b4e.jpg)
with v being the speed of a particle.
(b) Show that the number density of particles in the mean rest frame is given by Eq. (3.39a).
(c) Show that this gas satisfies the equations of state (3.39b).

N = 8se/(KBT) e-p/(2mk BT), where p where p = [p] = mv, h3 (3.56)
