QUESTION:

CALC Calculate the integral in Eq. (18.31), \(\int_{0}^{\infty} v^{2} f(v) d v\), and compare this result to \(\left(v^{2}\right)_{a v}\) as given by Eq. (18.16). (Hint: You may use the tabulated integral

\(\int_{0}^{\infty} x^{2 n} e^{-\alpha x^{2}} d x=\frac{1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdots(2 n-1)}{2^{n+1} \alpha^{n}} \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{\alpha}}\)

where \(\) is a positive integer and \(\alpha\) is a positive constant.)
