Question

At any particular time, different particles in the gas

A. have same speed and kinetic energy
B. have same speed but different kinetic energies
C. have different speeds but same kinetic energy
D. have different speeds and hence different kinetic energies.  
Answer :   have different speeds and hence different kinetic energies.
Solution :
Different particles of a gas have different speeds due to constant collisions and different kinetic energies.
