I hope this answer will help u

Explanation:

The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is often represented with the following graph. The y-axis of the Maxwell-Boltzmann graph can be thought of as giving the number of molecules per unit speed. So, if the graph is higher in a given region, it means that there are more gas molecules moving with those speeds.

Answer:

The Maxwell-Boltzmann equation, which forms the basis of the kinetic theory of gases, defines the distribution of speeds for a gas at a certain temperature. From this distribution function, the most probable speed, the average speed, and the root-mean-square speed can be derived.

Explanation:

that the velocity in the y and z directions does not affect the x velocity, for example, the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is given by

dNN=(m2πkBT)1/2e−mv22kBTdv(3.1.2.1)

where

dN/N is the fraction of molecules moving at velocity v to v + dv,

m is the mass of the molecule,

kb is the Boltzmann constant, and

T is the absolute temperature.1

Additionally, the function can be written in terms of the scalar quantity speed c instead of the vector quantity velocity. This form of the function defines the distribution of the gas molecules moving at different speeds, between c1 and c2 , thus

f(c)=4πc2(m2πkBT)3/2e−mc22kBT
