Question
Assume a gas stored in a container at room temperature. Identify the physical effect(s) that is/are caused by the motion of the particles of gas inside the container.
Answer: Option A
:
A, B, and D
The particles of matter irrespective of any state are never at rest. The energy attained by the particles due to their motion is called its kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is responsible for the temperature of the gas. The pressure inside a gas (or liquid) container is due to the force that these particles exert on the walls of the container.
(Potential energy of a particle is due its position but not because of motion).
