STANDARD Physics Elastic Collisions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: In case of collision of gas molecules in a given amount of gas, total kinetic energy is conserved. Reason: All collisions of the gas molecules in a given amount of gas are elastic.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
All collisions between molecules among themselves or between molecules and the wall are elastic. This implies that total kinetic energy is conserved.
