...T in kelvin into the average energy, in joules, associated with the random motions of one of its particles. The link between energy and temperature will be discussed further in Section 4. The conversion factor that links joules to kelvin is one of the basic physical constants that was established in the nineteenth century. Named in honour of one of the pioneers of the...

...t , where T is the temperature and kB is Boltzmann’s constant ( equals 1.38 multiplication 10 super negative 23 cap j cap k super negative one ). Another expression for the kinetic energy of a particle (with mass m and speed v) is simply cap e sub k equals one divided by two times m times v squared . So equating these two we obtain three times k sub cap b times cap t...
