If the 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 learned in the Kinetic Theory of Gases - The collisions of gas molecules are perfectly elastic. This means that the total energy of molecules before and after the collisions remains the same.
Therefore, Option (3) is correct
