    Integrating Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribution

    Thanks, that seems to be a working solution! Do you know what the answer should be? 3kT/m? For some reason I get Sqrt(9kT/2m). EDIT: Forgot to replace dv with the corresponding operator for x, dx*[(m/2kT)^(-1/2)]. Got it now!

    Integrating Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribution

    Homework Statement Let P(v) represent the Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribution. Basically what it comes down to is that I have to find the definite integral (0,inf) of P(v)*v^2 and get vrms from this. Homework Equations We are given the definite integral from 0 to inf for the function...
