The average speed can be calculated by integrating the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
2323
from 0 to infinity and dividing by the total number of molecules. The result is::

The most probable speed is the speed at which the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
3030
is at its maximum. This can be found by differentiating the Maxwell-Boltzmann
3131
distribution with respect to ``v`` and setting the result equal to zero. The result is::

The root-mean-square speed is another measure of the average speed
3838
of the molecules in a gas. It is calculated by taking the square root
3939
of the average of the squares of the speeds of the molecules. The result is::
