Question

T or F. All the air molecules in this room have the same kinetic energy. Explain your logic.

Answer 1

False. The molecules closer to sources of heat, such as the sun coming through a window, your heated laptop, and your body heat, will move have more kinetic energy compared to those farther away. This is because they try to reach thermal equilibrium with the molecules inside your body, and every movement you make releases energy.

Answer 2

T, because all gas molecules move freely and i guess depending on the size of the space that fact could change meaning air pressure could effect how they move but all of it would move with the sane force. It’s True I believe
