Question

If it were possible for a gas in a container to reach the temperature 0 K, its pressure would be zero. Would the molecules not collide with the walls? Would they not transfer momentum to the walls?

Answer 1

If the pressure is zero, the molecules will not collide with the walls and the momentum will not be transferred to the walls.

Explanation:

• This is due to the pressure of a gas that is formed due to the collision of molecules with the container walls.

• The product of the mass and velocity of an object is linear momentum, simply momentum, or translational momentum in Newtonian mechanics. It is a vector quantity that possess both a magnitude and a direction.
