Laws Of Motion Question 264

Question: n small balls each of mass m impinge elastically each second on a surface with velocity u. The force experienced by the surface will be [MP PMT/PET 1998; RPET 2001; BHU 2001; MP PMT 2003]

Options:

A) mnu

B) 2 mnu

C) 4 mnu

D) 12mnu

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

F=dpdt=

Rate of change of momentum As balls collide elastically hence, rate of change of momentum of ball = n[mu(mu)] = 2mnu i.e. F=2mnu
