We know that can't be a good model of reality since the average speed (for a given temperature) must be constant. Either the faster bounces must be matched with slower bounces or I don't understand the long-term behavior. | |

| Jun 8 at 20:10 | comment | added | Plemath | I did an experiment where the translational and rotational kinetic energies are random, identically distributed, independent, and have the same expected value. The result is still the same, i.e., if we take average over many trials, the difference in linear momentum is around 10% larger compared to what we would get if we did the same experiment with a point particle. | |
