How many molecules will hit the cylinder: Was my solution correct?

[QUOTE="collinsmark, post: 6357762, member: 114325"] It looks good to me. :smile: But keep in mind your solution is only valid if the gas is very cold or if the rod moves through it very fast, or both. In other words, it ignores the gas molecules hitting the rod due to thermal reasons. So why is the length of the rod given? It could be important if the thermal characteristics of the gas are to be considered, along with the speed of the rod. Maybe this will be given to you in a future exercise. [/QUOTE]
