Hello:smile:
suppose we have a gas (ideal) inside that gas there are particles (N
particles) and each particle has a certain velocity v.
i want to find the average velocity of all the particles inside that gas.
would it be \mathbb{V}=\frac{\sum_{1}^{n}v_i}{N}
\mathbb{V} the average velocity.
thanks.

Wouldn't the upper limit on the sum also be N?
