Pressure of a Nitrogen Particle Striking a Wall.
Not what you're looking for?
In a period of 1.00 s, 8.00 x 10^23 nitrogen molecules strike a wall with an area of 7.40 cm^2. If the molecules move with a speed of 300 m/s and strike the wall head-on in elastic collisions, what is the pressure exerted on the wall? (The mass of one N2 molecule is 4.68 x 10^-26 kg.)

Solution Summary
The expert examines the pressure of a nitrogen particle striking a wall.
Solution Preview
We know that pressure = force/area
we know the area, 7.40 cm^2 = = 0.00074 m^2
We need the force exerted by the particles on the wall..
the particles are transferring momentum to the ...
