Question 658: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

According to the kinetic theory of gases, when two molecules of a gas collide with each other then

Accepted Answer

According to the
kinetic theory of gases
, molecular collisions are assumed to be
perfectly elastic
.
In an
elastic collision
, both
kinetic energy
and
momentum
are conserved.
This assumption is crucial for deriving the
Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
and gas laws.

Correct Answer: Option A
Both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

Answer

both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

Answer

neither kinetic energy nor momentum is conserved.

Answer

momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved.

Answer

kinetic energy is conserved but momentum is not conserved.
