3. On collision with the walls there is a change in momentum

4. It is accelerated towards the walls

Gas at a pressure ${\mathrm{P}}_0$ is contained in a vessel. If the masses of all the molecules are halved and their speeds are doubled, the resulting pressure P will be equal to

1.  $4{\mathrm{P}}_0$                                 

2.  $2{\mathrm{P}}_0$

3.  ${\mathrm{P}}_0$

2. Pressure will remain unchanged

3. Pressure will be doubled

4. Pressure will become three times

Consider a gas with density $\mathrm{\rho }$ and $\overline{\mathrm{c}}$ as the root mean square velocity of its molecules contained in a volume. If the system moves as whole with velocity v, then the pressure exerted by the gas is
