(N/A) The law of equipartition of energy states that for a dynamic system in thermal equilibrium,the total energy of the system is distributed equally amongst all the degrees of freedom. The energy associated with each degree of freedom per molecule is $\frac{1}{2} k_B T$,where $k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant and $T$ is the absolute temperature of the system.
