Abstract
According to the kinetic theory of Maxwell and Boltzmann all molecules are in a state of continuous motion. Their translational kinetic energy only depends on their mass and on their velocity. In the law of equipartition of energy among the degrees of freedom all the molecules are taken to have the same translational kinetic energy, i.e.,
with m the mass of the molecules, \( \bar v \) the average velocity, k B the Boltzmann constant, and T the absolute temperature.
