A flat plate is moving normal to its plane through a gas under the action of a constant force F. The gas is kept at a very low pressure. The speed of the plate v I much less than the average speed u of the gas molecules. Which of the following options is true?

  1. A At a later time the external force F balances the resistive force
  2. B The resistive force experienced by the plate is proportional to v
  3. C The plate will continue to move with constant non zero acceleration at all times
  4. D The pressure difference between the leading and trailing faces of the plate is proportional to uv
