In the Kinetic theory of gases (you can assume an ideal gas) a typical integral that one needs to evaluate is m 3/2 Af exp(-Bv² )u²+ dv Af exp(-By² )v² dv where A=4 and 2nk T 2k T m is the mass of a particle, T is the temperature, and kg the Boltzmann constant. The above expression is the normalized nth moment, the limits of the integral are the physical values of the velocity, that is, from 0 to ∞o. Calculate <> for n= 1 and 2. [Hint. Use gamma functions !] B m For n = 1 and 2, we have the mean and the root mean square velocities, respectively. Calculate also the most probable velocity.
