Characterizing velocities Recall bouncing balls in jar. Focus on one
type of molecule. Lots of questions, such as :
a. What’s the average velocity? b. What’s the most popular velocity?c. What’s the velocity that corresponds to
the average kinetic energy?d. How many molecules have velocities
within a given range?How to answer: use statistical distributions, aka histograms
Height Histogram (made up data): Total students = 49 Round heights to closest
integer, plot histogram What is the combined area
of all bars? If I pick a student at random,
what are chances he/she will be 68 inches tall?
What is the area of the bar at 68 inches divided by the total area?
How many students will be exactly 68.000000 inches tall?
If I pick a student at random, what are chances he/she will be 61.5-64.5 inches tall?
What is average height of all students? (At least, how would you figure that out?)
“Normalized” Histogram: Total students = 49 Y-axis now divided by
total # of students. What is combined
area of all bars? If I pick a student at
random, what are chances he/she will be 61.5-64.5 inches tall? (At least, how would you figure that out?)
How many students have heights between 61.5 and 64.5 inches?
What is average height of all students?
Probability Distribution Function
Imagine total # =10 billion. Tiny “bins”. Connect peaks of curve with line… becomes a function
What is combined area of all bars? If I pick a person at random, what are chances he/she will
be 63.6-67.2 inches tall? How many people have heights between 63.6 and 67.2
inches? What is average height of all people? (If a non-symmetric
curve, this is not just the peak of the curve.)
Velocity Distribution: “Maxwell-Boltzmann”
At 600K, how many molecules with speeds between 400 and 600 m/s?
What is “vmost probable”? What is “vaverage”? What is “vrms”? How many molecules
are at exactly the “most probable” velocity?

Thought Question If you want to melt a cube of ice
that’s initially at -40C, you must first raise its temperature to 0C, and then you must melt it. Which part takes the most energy?
a. Raising the temperature b. Meltingc. Same
