Answer:
B. 2nmv
Explanation:
Pressure is force over area.
P = F / A
Force is mass times acceleration.
F = ma
Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time.
a = Δv / Δt
Therefore:
F = m Δv / Δt
P = m Δv / (A Δt)
The total mass is nm.
The change in velocity is Δv = v − (-v) = 2v.
A = 1 and Δt = 1.
Plugging in:
P = (nm) (2v) / (1 × 1)
P = 2nmv
