4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
easy

$N$ bullets each of mass $m \,kg$ are fired with a velocity $v\,m{s^{ - 1}}$ at the rate of n bullets per second upon a wall. The reaction offered by the wall to the bullets is given by

A$nmv$
B$\frac{{Nmv}}{n}$
C$n\frac{{Nm}}{v}$
D$n\frac{{Nv}}{m}$

Solution

(a) Total mass of bullets $= Nm$, time $t = \frac{N}{n}$
Momentum of the bullets striking the wall $= Nmv$
Rate of change of momentum (Force) = $\frac{{Nmv}}{t} = nmv.$
