Physics true or false questions! In a gas kept at a constant temp...?

1. In a gas kept at a constant temperature, all molecules move with the same speed.


A. True


B. False





2. A hot object has more thermal energy than a similar cold object only because of greater kinetic energy.


A. True


B. False





3. The thermal energy of the particles in a gas is related to the temperature of the gas.


A. True


B. False





I need help understanding! Thanks!Physics true or false questions! In a gas kept at a constant temp...?
I assume you mean all molecules of the gas are identical.


1.Constant temperature means they have the same average energy and hence speed but some will be faster, some slower.





2. Greater kinetic energy of the molecules not of the mass as a whole. very poor question/ responses





3. Particles have kinetic energy which is the thermal energy of the overall gas rather than the thermal energy of the individual molecules.Physics true or false questions! In a gas kept at a constant temp...?
1. B


2. A


3. A
