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

Options

  1. Akinetic energy is conserved but momentum is not conserved.
  2. Bmomentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved.
  3. Cneither kinetic energy nor momentum is conserved.
  4. Dboth momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Correct answer

D. both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Step-by-step solution

All collisions involve momentum conservation as the forces are internal. In KTG collisions are considered elastic so both momentum and Kinetic energy are conserved Concept based.
