Why are perfectly elastic collisions important for the behavior of gases?

Options

  1. AThey lead to an increase in kinetic energy
  2. BThey keep the total energy constant
  3. CThey cause gases to settle down
  4. DThey result in a loss of kinetic energy

Correct answer

B. They keep the total energy constant

Step-by-step solution

Perfectly elastic collisions are important for gases because they keep the total energy of gas molecules constant.
