Derivation of the Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribution

[@Snoopies622]

Fascinating video! The only thing troubling me is that it began with describing the influence of gravity on the molecules of a gas, and somehow ended up with a formula that doesn't include gravity. Will have to watch it a second time.

yes, this is probably the most difficult to understand video I have made so far. The key to understanding what lies behind the model idea is probably found at 07:12.

why N=mgaz/m

[@SamuilPetrov]

Ideal gas law is PV = nRT (n is number of mol) or PV = NkT (N is number of particles). Therefore N = Number of particles * (mass per particle)/(mass per particle) = Total mass of the gas / mass per particle.

@@SamuilPetrov thanks man so the bottom M must be a big M to make the difference between mass and mass per particle clear clear , thanks man again
