In the simple kinetic theory of a gas we discussed in class, the molecules are assumed to be point-like objects (without any volume) so that they rarely collide with one another. In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules. Calculate the mean free path of a H2 molecule in a hydrogen gas tank at STP. Assume the molecular radius to be 10-10
a) 2.1*10-7 m
b) 4.2*10-7 m
c) none of these.

A 400 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 425 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually falls to the Earth's surface, where it hits the ground with a
speed of 1.80 km/s. How much energy was transformed into internal energy by means of air friction?

- In solid, atoms are spaced closer than in liquid, as shown in Figure 2. Density of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. Therefore, density of a solid is typically greater than the density of liquid. However, this is not true for ice (solid water) and liquid water as the density of solid is less that the liquid (Ice floats in water). Explain why this discrepancy occurs in terms of the mass and volume.

At the beginning of your shift, the gauge on the tank shows the internal gas pressure to be 250 psi. At the end of your shift you check the tank again and find the pressure to be 25 psi (psi stands for pounds per square inch; it is another unit of pressure).

- Atmospheric pressure on Earth at its surface is 101 KPa (101 kilopascals or 101,000 N/m2). Which of these statements is true? If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will still be more than 1010 (10 billion) atoms per cm3 in the container. If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will be fewer than 100 atoms per m3 in the container. When we reduce the pressure in the container while keeping the temperature constant, the number of atoms per m3 must stay constant. At 1 atmosphere, the number of atoms/m3 in air at room temperature is about 109, one billion atoms.arrow_forwardConsider the thermodynamic process, A->B->C->A shown above.
