Solids and liquids resist being compressed. They are not totally incompressible, but it takes large forces to compress them even slightly. If it is true that matter consists of atoms, what can you infer about the microscopic nature of solids and liquids from their incompressibility?
nitrogen molecules collide with a wall each second. Assume that the molecules all travel with a speed of and strike the wall head-on. What is the pressure on the wall?
