STANDARD Physics Kinetic Energy Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: Average kinetic energy per molecule of any ideal monoatomic gas is . Reason: Average kinetic energy depends only on temperature and is independent of the nature of the gas.
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
The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to the temperature and is independent of the type of gas, supporting the reason but not explaining the assertion.
