A nozzle throws a stream of gas against a wall with a velocity v much larger than the thermal agitation of the molecules. The wall deflects the molecules without changing the magnitude of their velocity. Also, assume that the force exerted on the wall by the molecules is perpendicular to the wall.

A nozzle throws a stream of gas against a wall with a velocity v much larger than the thermal agitation of the molecules. After collision of the molecules with wall the magnitude of their velocity remains same. Also assume that the force exerted on the wall by the molecule is perpendicular to wall.
