6. The average speed of a nitrogen molecule in air is about
6.70 1 102 m/s, and its mass is 4.68 1 10#26 kg. (a) If it
takes 3.00 1 10#13 s for a nitrogen molecule to hit a wall
and rebound with the same speed but moving in the op-
posite direction, what is the average acceleration of the
molecule during this time interval? (b) What average
force does the molecule exert on the wall?
Given,

After the hitting the wall, it rebounds with the same speed in opposite direction,
