Solution
Mass of electron = m = 9 × 10−31 kg
Velocity of electron = v = 6 × 107 ms−1
Momentum of electron = P = ?
We know, P = mv
P = 9.1 × 10−31 × 6 × 107
P = 54 × 10−24 kg ms−1 or Ns
= 54 × 10−24 kg ms−1 Ns

The force of buoyancy exerted by the atmosphere on a balloon is B in the upward direction and remains constant. The force of air resistance on the balloon acts opposite the direction of velocity and is proportional to it.
