Answer:
C
Explanation:
Given that a liquid at rest in a fixed container exerts a force perpendicular to the wall of the container. Two students make claims about the microscopic cause of this force. Student A says that the force exerted by individual molecules as they bounce off the wall is always perpendicular to the wall. Student B says that the molecules may strike the wall at angles that are not perpendicular. Which student is correct and why?
The correct answer is option C
Student B . The molecules in a liquid are in random motion at the microscopic scale. For every atom that hits at an angle to one side of perpendicular, there is likely to be another atom hitting at the same speed at the same angle on the other side of perpendicular. On average the nonperpendicular components cancel
Use the largest force for as long a time as possible Ft=mV.
Hope this help
