Kinetic Molecular Theory SImulation

You will explore gas particle motion using the simulation below.

Select the "Ideal" option at left.
Pump the pump once and observe the gas particles enter the box. Describe the movement of the particles below.
Now choose an individual particle to focus on. Follow that particle's movements. Describe the movement of that single particle below.

Please answer the questions below.

Question 1.1

Describe the movement of the particles after initially pumping them into the box including how they interact with the box and each other.

Question 1.2

Now describe the movement of the individual particle you focused on including how that particle interacts with the box and other particles.

These notes will appear on every page in this lesson so feel free to put anything here you'd like to keep track of.
