Serway & Jewett β The Laws of Motion: Problem 4
The average speed of a nitrogen molecule in air is about \(6.70 \times 10^{2} \text{ m/s}\), and its mass is \(4.68 \times 10^{-26} \text{ kg}\). (a) If it takes \(3.00 \times 10^{-13} \text{ s}\) for a nitrogen molecule to hit a wall and rebound with the same speed but moving in the opposite direction, what is the average acceleration of the molecule during this time interval? (b) What average force does the molecule exert on the wall?
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) If it takes \; (b) What average force does the molecule exert on the wall?
