Kinetic Theory of a Gas - GCSE Physics

🦊 In this GCSE Physics video, we explain the kinetic theory of gases, which models the behavior of gas particles in a constant state of random motion, moving in various directions and at different speeds. It describes how gas particles collide with the walls of their container and with each other without losing kinetic energy, leading to a consistent total kinetic energy for the system. Additionally, it highlights that raising the temperature of the gas increases the average kinetic energy of the particles, resulting in a higher average speed, with temperature serving as a measure of this kinetic energy.
