008. `query 7

*********************************************

Question: Query set 5 problems 16-20

explain how we calculate the average force exerted by a particle of mass m moving at speed v which collides at a time interval `dt elastically and at a right angle with a solid wall

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

The collision with the wall is elastic, so the object will keep the same

velocity and just reverse direction, so the change in velocity is 2v. The change

in momentum is the mass times the change in velocity, so 2*v*m. Using the

Impulse Momentum Theorem, the average force of a particle is the change

of momentum over time, so (2*m*v)/delta t"
