Berta taps the slate. A new graph overlays the old one. This new curve is flatter and wider. The peak has shifted to the right (higher speed), but it is lower in height. And the long tail on the right—the "fast spore" tail—is now longer and fatter.
"Only spores with speed to the right of this line can reach the sugar and eat," she says.
"Raise the temperature again," Mya says. maxwell boltzmann distribution pogil
Professor Mya’s whispered question to the group: “What fraction of spores have zero speed?”
"That's not fair!" complains Arnie. "They should all move at the same speed. That's orderly. That's fair." Berta taps the slate
"Run the simulation again, Berta."
Dina squints. "The areas… they look the same. The hot one is just stretched out." The peak has shifted to the right (higher
Question: “At the higher temperature, does the number of spores that can digest sugar double, or does it increase by a factor of ten?”
