Pressure & Kinetic Energy of a Gas

The average force applied on the walls of a closed container depends on temperature (T) as (T is the temperature of an ideal gas)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Force on the walls F=PAF = PA, and for a closed container (fixed VV) P=nRTV∝TP = \frac{nRT}{V} \propto T.
  2. So F∝T1F \propto T^{1}.
  3. So the answer is (c) T1T^{1}.
