Question:

According to kinetic theory, the molecules of ordinary matter are in constant random motion. The energy E of a molecule is a random variable with density function p(E) = 1/kT e−E/(kT), where T is the temperature (in kelvins) and k is Boltzmann’s constant. Compute the mean kinetic energy E in terms of k and T.
