One version of this model, in which objects are pushed to regions of heated low-density aether, was used by John Herapath to mechanically explain gravitation.

One version of this model, in which objects are pushed to regions of heated low-density aether, was used by John Herapath to mechanically explain gravitation. This theory predicts a value of 2mv for momentum gained by the wall of a container due to a single particle, because this theory assumes that all collisions are perfectly elastic. It also postulates that individual particles have negligible volumes and that intermolecular attractive or repulsive forces between gas particles are also negligible. For 10 points, name this theory that describes the behavior of ideal gases undergoing constant, random motion.
