Sketch (schematically) the Maxwell-Boltzmann translational energy distribution and label the energy axis as best you can in any energy units that you choose.

I am looking for a graph. You can sketch it by hand and scan or take a digital photo if you wish, and I'd like to know where the Maximum of the curve is on the X-axis (what energy).
