maxwell distribution plot

[DrMattOglesby]

*where y-axis = Fraction of particles
*where x-axis = energy

if you increase the temperature on the maxwell distribution plot, the plot decreases along the y-axis and increases along the x-axis.
but what happens if you decrease the temperature?

does it increase along the y-axis and decrease along the x-axis????

Yea, i would think so. If temperature increases, kinetic energy increases as well. And if temperature were to decrease, the kinetic energy would also decrease.

exactly. the distribution would get narrower and shift to the left.
