Q. According to the kinetic theory of gases, in an ideal gas, between two successive collisions a gas molecule travels
A) In a circular path
B) In a wavy path
C) In a straight line path
D) With an accelerated velocity
Explanation
(c)
In between two successive collisions, no force is acting on the gas molecules. Resultantly it travels with uniform velocity during this interval, and hence, it moves along a straight line.
