    What Type of Student Are You in the Medical Field?

    Since I live in France, the system is quite different, there's no "pre-med" phase. Now I'm studying physics, chemistry, statistics and of course more medical related subjects such as biochemistry, cellular bio, physiology...

    Calculating the velocity of a molecule

    Oh, I got it! My answer is then in m.s-1 and I just need to multiply by 3.6. 417*3.6=1501 km.h-1 Thank you for the help :)

    Calculating the velocity of a molecule

    Yes, I got 417! I just plugged in all the values in the last equation that I wrote, v= √(2kT/m). Since k is in J/K, T in K and m in kg, the unit of v is J/kg. J also equals kg m2 s-2 so I assume the unit of v can also be m2s-2?

    Calculating the velocity of a molecule

    Hi, I'm stuck on a problem. I have this function that represents the velocity: f(v)=v2e(-mv2)/(2kT) T is the temperature and equals 293.15K m = 4.65 .10-26 kg k = 1.38 .10-23 J/K The problem wants us to find the derivative of the function. I found: df/dv= (2v)...
