This quantity is represented by a capital T in the formula for the Hamiltonian, and its average per molecule in an ideal gas is 3/2 times kt.
This quantity is represented by a capital T in the formula for the Hamiltonian, and its average per molecule in an ideal gas is 3/2 times kt. Its namesake "operator" in quantum mechanics is equal to momentum squared divided by twice the mass, and it is not conserved in inelastic collisions. The rotational type of this quantity is calculated as one-half times the moment of inertia times angular velocity squared. Transferable to potential energy, for 10 points, identify this quantity which can be calculated non-relativistically as one half times m-v squared.
