< Prev
Next >
Why is it impossible for all gas particles in a container to simultaneously possess very high or very low speeds?
A

During collisions, both particles experience an increase in kinetic energy.

B

Kinetic energy cannot be transferred between particles during collisions.

C

Gas particles do not collide frequently enough to generate additional kinetic energy.

D

During collisions, a gain in kinetic energy for one particle results in a corresponding loss for another.

E

There is insufficient pressure within a closed container.
