Question

what do you mean by number of degree of freedom?..

and what is law of equipartition of energy....​

Answer 1

Answer:

1). The number of degrees of freedom of a dynamical system is defined as the total number of co-ordinates or independent quantaties required to describe completely the position and configuration of the system....

2). for any dynamical system in thermal equilibrium,the total energy is equally distributed amongst all degrees of freedom,and the energy associated with each molecule per degree of freedom is 1/2 kb T where kb is boltzman constant and t is temperature of the system..

Answer 2

Answer:

The only numbers that are free to vary are the first two. ... So degrees of freedom for a set of three numbers is TWO.

for example: if you wanted to find a confidence interval for a sample, degrees of freedom is n – 1. “N' can also be the number of classes or categories.

And the original formulation of the equipartition theorem states that, in any physical system in thermal equilibrium, every particle has exactly the same average translational kinetic energy, (3/2)kBT
