| In this work he gave what Thomson considered the first proof of the Waterston-Maxwell equipartition theorem. |
|
| The researchers expected the array to relax into a random equipartition of energies. |
|
| The equipartition principle further predicts a measurable molar heat capacity for such an atom of 0.5R per degree of freedom. |
|
| However, Marcus's expression is only applicable at temperatures sufficiently high that equipartition holds for all vibrational modes coupled to the ET reaction. |
|
| Since such a thermometer presumes Lorentz invariant equipartition theorem, a moving object appears neither cold nor hot. |
|
| Raizen's research is the first direct test of the equipartition theorem for Brownian particles, one of the basic tenets of statistical mechanics. |
|
| Based on the equipartition theorem, the thermal method is an energy balance in which the spring constant is obtained through the potential energy term. |
|
| This simple observation has consequences in physics, as it signifies that the law of equipartition which characterizes so much of statistical thermodynamics cannot hold. |
|
| According to him, stars appeared to obey a Maxwellian distribution, or equipartition of energy, so that the less massive stars moved more rapidly than the massive ones. |
|
| The potential energy density is equal to the kinetic energy, both contributing half to the wave energy density E, as can be expected from the equipartition theorem. |
