  2. Equipartition theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipartition_theorem

    Thus the average kinetic energy of the particle is ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ k B T, as in the example of noble gases above. More generally, in a monatomic ideal gas the total energy consists purely of (translational) kinetic energy: by assumption, the particles have no internal degrees of freedom and move independently of one another.

  3. Free recoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_recoil

    Free recoil / Frecoil is a vernacular term or jargon for recoil energy of a firearm not supported from behind. Free recoil denotes the translational kinetic energy (E t) imparted to the shooter of a small arm when discharged and is expressed in joules (J), or foot-pound force (ft·lb f) for non-SI units of measure.

  4. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    Thus, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the absolute temperature of an ideal monatomic gas can be calculated easily: per mole: 12.47 J/K; per molecule: 20.7 yJ/K = 129 μeV/K; At standard temperature (273.15 K), the kinetic energy can also be obtained: per mole: 3406 J; per molecule: 5.65 zJ = 35.2 meV.

  5. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    As a collection of classical material particles, the temperature is a measure of the mean energy of motion, called translational kinetic energy, of the particles, whether in solids, liquids, gases, or plasmas. The kinetic energy, a concept of classical mechanics, is half the mass of a particle times its speed squared. In this mechanical ...

  6. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The amount of translational kinetic energy found in two variables: the mass of the object and the speed of the object as shown in the equation above. Kinetic energy must always be either zero or a positive value.

    Kinetic energy of an average person jumping as high as they can [83] [84] [85] 3.3×10 2 J: Energy to melt 1 g of ice [86] > 3.6×10 2 J: Kinetic energy of 800 gram [87] standard men's javelin thrown at > 30 m/s [88] by elite javelin throwers [89] 5–20×10 2 J: Energy output of a typical photography studio strobe light in a single flash [90 ...

  9. Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(physics...

    By the equipartition theorem, internal energy per mole of gas equals c v T, where T is absolute temperature and the specific heat at constant volume is c v = (f)(R/2). R = 8.314 J/(K mol) is the universal gas constant, and "f" is the number of thermodynamic (quadratic) degrees of freedom, counting the number of ways in which energy can occur.
