Impulse: A force of 5.3 N is needed to hold on to an umbrella in a strong wind. If the air molecules each have a mass of 4.7 × 10-26 kg, and each one strikes the umbrella (without rebounding) with a speed of 2.0 m/s in the same direction, how many atoms strike the umbrella each second? Assume that the wind blows horizontally so that the gravity can be neglected.

What will be an ideal response?


5.6 × 1025 per second
