Q.

100 balls each of mass m moving with speed v simultaneously strike a wall normally and reflected back with same speed, in time t s. The total force exerted by the balls on the wall is                [2023]

1 100mvt  
2 200mvt  
3 200mvt  
4 mv100t  

Ans.

(2)

Pi=Nmvi^,   Pf=-Nmvi^

N is the number of balls striking the wall

N=100

ΔP=Pf-Pi=-2Nmvi^=-200Nmvi^

Ftotal=ΔPΔt=-200mvtt

|F|=200mvt
