**8. A molecule of mass 3 x 10-26 kg is moving toward a wall at a speed of 3 x 105 m/s. It
bounces back in exactly the opposite direction going at the same 3 x 105 m/s.
a) What was the magnitude of the change in momentum of the mole cule?
b) What was the magnitude of the impulse applied to the molecule?
c) If the molecule interacted with the wall for 1 us (10-6 s), what was the average force of
the wall on the molecule?
I
d) What impulse is applied by the molecule to the wall?
