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

  1. A kinetic energy is conserved but momentum is not conserved.
  2. B momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved.
  3. C neither kinetic energy nor momentum is conserved.
  4. D both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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.
