In a period of 9.00 s, 5.00 × 1023 nitrogen molecules strike a wall of area 5.80 cm². Assume the molecules move with a speed of 340 m/s and strike the wall head-on in elastic collisions. What is the -26 kg. pressure exerted on the wall? Note: The mass of one N, molecule is 4.65 x 10 3.513 Calculate the momentum change in each second and use the impulse-momentum theorem to relate the momentum change to the average force between the wall and the nitrogen in order to find the pressure. kPa Need Help?

The molecules in a gas are often modeled as small balls. If the molecules havethe same mass, what happens if two molecules traveling at the same speedcollide head on?
A square box with dimensions of 1m × 1m ×1m contains He at 25°C. If the atoms arecolliding with the walls of the box elastically (meaning that the momentum of themolecule is the same after the collision but is moving in the opposite direction) at arate of 6.5 × 1022 time per second, what is the pressure exerted on the wall if theaverage speed of the atoms is 600 ms-1.
The Earth's atmosphere is composed of about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9 percent argon, and 0.1 percent other gasses. To find out why these gasses are "trapped" in the earth's atmosphere, consider a projectile with mass m that is about to launch vertically upward from earth. e. Ignore air resistance, show that the projectile can only escape the magnetie pull of the earth if it is launched vertically upward with a kinetic energy greater than mgRearth, where g = 9.80 m/s? and the earth's radius Rearth = 6378 km. f. Compute the temperature required by a nitrogen molecule (molar mass 28.0 g/mol) and an oxygen molecule (molar mass 32 g/mol) to achieve the average translational kinetie energy required to escape earth? g. Repeat part (b) for the moon, for which g = 1.63 m/s? and Rmoon = 1740 km. h. Present your conclusion on the atmosphere of earth and moon based on the results from parts (b) and (c).

An altitude of 150 km is the lowest altitude where a satellite could successfully orbit the earth.At 150 km, the pressure is about 3 x 10-6torr and the temperature is roughly 250 K.
