I know that .
Average kinetic energy of a molecule is (f/2)kT (for translational motion.where f=3 )
In my textbook given that...
If the degree of freedom of the gas molecule is f then the average heat energy of each molecule of the gas is = E(avg.) = (f/2)kT
which is same as the average kinetic energy.
Are the avg. kinetic energy and heat energy both are same or there is difference between them?
