A molecule of mass ' m ' moving with velocity ' v ' makes 5 elastic collisions with a wall of container per second. The change in momentum of the wall per second in 5 collisions will be
Options
- A10 mv
- B5 mv
- C1 5 mv
- D1 10 mv
Correct answer
A. 10 mv
Step-by-step solution
Change in momentum in each collision is [ mv -(- mv )]=2 mv Hence change in momentum in 5 collisions is 5 2 mv =10 mv
