Absolute temperature T
Kinetic energy associated with a particle moving along each axis = kT/2
Mass m ,velocity vx along the X axis
KE = mvx 2
eg .Lysozyme particle
Particles in vacuum; aqueous medium water molecule interruption wandering
around of particles random walk
Characterizing diffusive spreading One dimensional random walk
xi (n) = x i (n-1)
Rule 2 : The + sign will apply to roughly half the particles and sign to the other
half
<x(n)> = < x(n-1)> Mean position does not vary from step to step
