Cooking gas container are kept in a lorry moving with uniform speed. The temperature of the gas molecules inside will

A

increase

B

decrease

C

remains the same

D

decrease for some and increase for others

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The centre of mass of the gas molecules moves with uniform speed along with lorry. As there is no change in relative motion, the translational kinetic energy and hence the temperature of the gas molecules will remain same.
