^ denotes power
E denotes 10 raised to the power
Kinetic energy of a molecule = 3/2 kT
where
k= Boltzmann's constant=1.38x 10^-23 J/K= 1.38E-23 J/K
T=Temperature in Kelvin
Thus if temperature is the same it means that kinetic energy of the molecules are equal as there are no other factors apart from k and T
Kinetic energy of a molecule = 1/2 m v ^2
Equating the two
3/2 ...
