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

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Concept-based.
Collisions are elastic so energy is conserved and momentum conservation always occurs if the external force is zero.
