A cubic vessel (with face horizontal + vertical) contains an ideal gas at NTP. The vessel is being carried by a rocket which is moving at a speed of 500 m/s in vertical direction. The pressure of the gas inside the vessel as observe by us on the ground :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
- The pressure in the vessel is because of the relative motion that is when collision takes place, it is the relative velocity which changes.
- The motion of the vessel as a whole does not affect the relative motion of the gas molecules with respect to the walls of the vessel, hence pressure of the gas inside the vessel, as observed by us, on the ground remains the same.
