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

Options

A. increase
B. decrease
C. remains same
D. decrease for some , while increase for others

Answer

C

Explanation

The temperature of gas molecules depends on the average kinetic energy associated with the disorderly motion (i.e.,random motion) of the gas molecules . The orderly kinetic energy of the molecules of gas container will increase in the lorry, whereas disorderly kinetic energy will still remain the same , hence the temperature of the gas molecules will remain unchanged.
