A molecule in a gas container hits a horizontal wall with speed 200 m s–1 and angle 30° with the normal, and rebounds with the same speed. Is momentum conserved in the collision? Is the collision elastic or inelastic?

-

Ans: Yes; Collision is elastic collision.

The momentum of the gas molecule is remain conserved whether it is elastic or inelastic collision. 

The gas molecule moves with a velocity of 200 m/s and strikes the stationary wall of the gas container, rebounding with the same speed. 

It shows that the rebound velocity of the wall is zero. Hence, the total kinetic energy(K.E) of the molecule remains conserved during the collision between the molecules. The given example of collision is an  an elastic collision.

Ques 1. Mention the condition when an object is in motion (a) can be considered point object (b) can not be considered point object.  Ans . An object can be considered as a point object if (a) its size is negligible in comparison to the distance travelled by object (b) it's size is not negligible in comparison to the distance travelled by object. Ques 2 . Can Earth be regarded as a point object when it is describing its really journey around the sun? Ans.  Yes, because the diameter of earth is very small as compared to the radius of the orbital path of earth around the sun.   Ques 3. Can the speed of a body be negative?   Ans . No, because the speed of an object is the distance travelled by the by object in unit time and distance can never be negative. Ques 4. which speed is measured by the speedometer of your scooter?  Ans . The Speedometer measure the instantaneous speed of the scooter at a given instant of time. Ques 5.What does th...

Ques : Three oxides of lead on analysis were found to contain lead as under: (i) 3.45 g of yellow oxide contains 3.21 g of lead. (ii) 1.195 g of brown oxide contains 1.035 g of lead. (iii) 1.77 g of red oxide contains 1.61 g of lead. Show that these data illustrate law of multiple proportions. Ans : The amounts of lead and oxygen in three oxides are : (i) Yellow oxide : Mass of lead = 3.21 g Mass of oxygen = 3.45 - 3.21                              = 0.24 g  (ii) Brown oxide : Mass of lead = 1.035 g                             Mass of oxygen = 1.195 - 1.035                                                          = 0.160 g (iii) Red oxide: Mass of lead = 1.61 g         ...
