Solve this multiple-choice question and check the correct answer with its explanation below.

Answer options

  1. perfectly elastic
  2. perfectly inelastic
  3. partly elastic
  4. partly inelastic

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: perfectly elastic

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) perfectly elastic šŸ“š Explanation: The 'Kinetic Theory of Gases' assumes that gas molecules are in constant, random motion and that the collisions between them are 'perfectly elastic'. This means that during a collision, there is no net loss of total kinetic energy. This assumption allows scientists to use simple mathematical models to predict the behavior of gases.
