Molecular Speeds & Maxwell Distribution
Cooking gas containers are kept in a lorry moving with uniform speed. The temperature of the gas molecules inside will
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- Temperature depends on the random (thermal) motion of molecules relative to the container.
- Uniform motion of the lorry adds the same ordered velocity to every molecule, which does not change the random KE.
- So the answer is (c) remain same.
