MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.Ok. But I don't understand again. I think that each direction is not specific and particles move randomly in any direction. But how...

MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.Ok. How can we infer that ##<V_x^2> = <V_y^2>## if we don't know all components of velocities?

Like.
Technically the quoted passage is false. It is an argument, not a valid proof. The first error is minor. The author says that if the... -
MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.These numbers are random but from expressions for ##<V_x^2>## and ##<V_y^2>## we can see that X-axis and Y-axis are equiprobable. (gas...

@Mike_bb, I’m coming into this thread rather late but would like to add some random thoughts which might help. It looks like you are... -

Is this explanation verbatim from the book? Or is it your own interpretation? Either way, It is utterly incorrect. If you total...

From what I can tell it is not a very high quality book on this specific topic. I think it might be suitable as a reference for someone...

MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.Thanks! I understand how it works. But why does my book say another thing?
