C. two billiard balls colliding and bouncing off each other are most similar to the type of collision that gas particles have according to kinetic molecular theory

Further explanation

Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) states that a gas consists of molecules that move at a constant and random speed. The collisions between molecules are perfectly elastic so that no energy is wasted.

The molecules move in straight lines until they collide

Energy because this motion is expressed as Kinetic energy (KE) which can be formulated as:

[tex]\large{\boxed{\bold{KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2}}[/tex]

The average kinetic energy value is only affected by temperature changes. The higher the temperature, the average kinetic energy of the molecule increases

This molecule is very small when compared to the distance between molecules, so the volume of gas contains mostly empty space

Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) can explain laws related to gas

For example, the more gas molecules, the more collisions occur and increase the gas pressure

  • A. two mud balls sticking to each other

Collisions that occur are perfectly elastic, not sticky

  • B.a baseball hitting the ground and rolling to a stop

 Collisions between the baseball and the ground are inelastic

  • C. two billiard balls colliding and bouncing off each other

gas molecules can be described as spherical and perfectly elastic collisions

  • D. and ax splitting a board in two

is not an example of collisions between molecules

  • E.a snowball smashed against the ground

Collisions between the snowball and the ground are inelastic
