Sentences with phrase «equipartition theorem»

The average gravitational potential energy of every molecular species is given by equipartition theorem as kT / 2 per molecule.

Over a sufficiently long period of time, it follows from the equipartition theorem and other principles of statistical mechanics that every molecule in a gas will have the same average kinetic energy, the same average potential energy, and the same total energy, as any other molecule.

Have you ever heard of the equipartition theorem?

This allowed them to obtain a measure of the velocity every 5 microseconds and demonstrate that the equipartition theorem holds (Science, DOI: 10.1126 / science.1189403).

Directly testing this «equipartition theorem» requires the velocity of a particle to be measured, but Einstein predicted that its rapidly changing speed and direction would make that impossible.
