10000 small balls, each weighing 1 g, strike one square centimetre of area per second with a velocity of 100 ms⁻¹ in a normal direction and rebound with the same velocity. The pressure on the surface will be [BITSAT 2007]

Answer: (D)

Solution

Each ball reverses momentum: Δp per ball = 2mv = 2×10⁻³×100 = 0.2 kg·ms⁻¹.
