Homework Statement
The speed distribution function of a group N particles is given by:
dNv=k*dv if U>v>0
dNv=0 if v>U
1) find k in terms of N and U.
2) draw a graph of distribution function
3) compute the average and rms speed in terms of U.
4) compute the most probable speed
Homework Equations
f(v)=[tex]\left[\frac{m}{2\pi\kappa*T}\right]^{\frac{3}{2}}*exp\left(-\frac{mv^{2}}{2\kappa*T}\right)[/tex] - Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
[tex]\frac{dn_{v}}{n}[/tex]=4[tex]\pi*v^{2}*f(v)*dv[/tex] - speed distribution function
The Attempt at a Solution
1) k=4[tex]\pi*n*v^{2}*f(v)[/tex] - so I can draw a graph of the distribution function.
2) which function and how should I integrate in order to obtain k in terms of N and U?
3) is average speed = [tex]\int^{V}_{0}v*4\pi*v^{2}*f(v)dv[/tex] ?
Please help with the solution or link to a similar problem solution.
