Question:
This problem is related to the equipartition theorem. Consider a system in which the energy of a particle is given by E = Au2, where A is a constant and u is any coordinate or momentum that can vary from - ∞ to + ∞.
(a) Write the probability of the particle having u in the range du and calculate the normalization constant C in terms of A.
(b) Calculate the average energy (E) = (Au2) and show that (E) = 1/2 kT.

I have recently received the degree of PhD. In Physics by the Universidade Federal do Maranhão after spending a term in Durham University, as I have been awarded a scholarship from a Brazilian mobility program. During my PhD. I have performed research mainly in Theoretical Physics and published works in distinguished Journals (check my ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4324-1184).
During my BSc. I have been awarded a scholarship to study for a year in the University of Evansville, where I have worked in detection-analysis of photon correlations in the the Photonics Laboratory. There I was a tutor in Electromagnetism, Classical Mechanics and Calculus for most of that year (2012).
I am very dedicated, honest and a fast learner, but most of all, I value a job well done.
