MCQ
The pressure exerted by the gas on the walls of the container because
- AIt loses kinetic energy
- BIt sticks with the walls
- ✓On collision with the walls there is a change in momentum
- DIt is accelerated towards the walls
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
On collision with the walls there is a change in momentum
c
When gas molecules collide with the walls of container, the momentum changes and hence force is exerted on the walls. So, The corveet answer is On collision with the walls there is a change in momentum.
