Equations 20.43 and 20.44 show that for a collection of gas particles, which turns out to be true whenever the particles have a distribution of speeds. Let us explore this inequality for a two-particles gas. Let the speed of one particle be and the other particle has a speed .
(a) Show that the average of these two speeds is .
(b) Show that .
(c) Argue that the equation in part (b) proves that, in general, .
(d) Under what special condition will for the two-particle gas?
