Most Probable Speed in Thermal Quantity Formulas

Most probable speed is the speed at the top of Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution curve because the largest number of molecules have that speed. And is denoted by V_p. Most Probable Speed is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Most Probable Speed is always negative.
