Question:medium

The mass of an H₂ molecule is 3.32×10⁻²⁷ kg. If 10²³ hydrogen molecules per second strike 2 cm² of a wall at an angle of 45° with the normal while moving at a speed of 10⁵ cm/s, the pressure exerted on the wall is nearly:

Show Hint

Pressure equals rate of change of normal momentum per unit area.
