A flat plate is moving normal to its plane through a gas under the action of a constant force F. The gas is kept at a very low pressure. The speed of the plate v I much less than the average speed u of the gas molecules. Which of the following options is true?

Options
- AAt a later time the external force F balances the resistive force
- BThe resistive force experienced by the plate is proportional to v
- CThe plate will continue to move with constant non zero acceleration at all times
- DThe pressure difference between the leading and trailing faces of the plate is proportional to
Correct answer
A. At a later time the external force F balances the resistive force
Step-by-step solution
(net force due to the air molecules on the plate)
(m is mass of the plate)
