A single molecule is contained within a cubical box of side length 0.30 m. The molecule, of mass 2.4×10-26 kg, moves backwards and forwards parallel to one side of the box with a speed of 400 m s-1. It collides elastically with one of the faces of the box, face P. Calculate the change in momentum each time the molecule hits face P.
