Aiden Arias · Answer 1

I'm not for sure but I think it's A.

Wayne Cooke · Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The kinetic theory of gases postulates that the directions and magnitudes of the velocities of the molecules are randomly distributed.

In this way, the behavior of these molecules can be represented as the collision of two billiard balls, since the velocities and directions of these after the collision are randomly distributed.

Have a nice day!
