1) The mass of a hydrogen molecule is 3.32 x10-27 kg. If 1023hydrogen molecules strike per second, a fixed wall of area 2 cm2 at an angle of 45° to the normal and rebound elastically with a speed of 103 m/s, then the pressure on the wall is nearly A) 2.35×103N/m2 B) 4.70×103N/m2 C) 4.70×102N/m2 D) 2.35×102N/m2 Answer: Option AExplanation: Momentum imparted due to first collision ⇒2mvsin45 =√2mv [∴sin450=1√2] ∴ Pressure on surface = n√2mvArea=1023×√2×3.32×10−27×103(2×10−2)2 p=2.35×103N/m2
