The velocity of a particle in a gas is a random variable V with probability distribution
fV (v) = av2e-bv v > 0
where b is a constant that depends on the temperature of the gas and the mass of the particle.
(a) Find the value of the constant a.
(b) The kinetic energy of the particle is W = mV2/2. Find the probability distribution of W.
