If total energy of a gas molecule is 'x' KJ before collision then the total energy of that molecule after collision ?
( Assumed that collision is perfectly elastic)
More than x
Less than x
Equal to x
None of these
As we learnt in
Kinetic Theory of Gases -
Collisions of gas molecules are perfectly elastic. This means that total energy of molecules before and after the collisions remains same.
-
Total energy of a gas molecule before collision = Total energy of a gas molecule after collision.
