(a) Find the mass density inside the box. (b) Find the average pressure on the walls perpendi- cular to the particle's path. (c) Find the average pressure on the other walls. (d) Find the temperature inside the box. Discuss the as- sumption of elastic collisions, in light of this result.

You have to cross the interstellar medium with anapproximated density of 1 hydrogen atom/m3.(a) Calculate the time it takes your spaceship to reach Sirius.(b) Determine the mass of interstellar gas that collides with your spaceship during the mission.Because you are moving at an enormous speed, your mission from the previous will be influenced by the effects of time dilation described by special relativity: Your spaceshiplaunches in June 2020 and returns back to Earth directly after arriving at Sirius. (c) How many years will have passed from your perspective?(d) At which Earth date (year and month) will you arrive back to Earth?
Which of the following assumptions is incorrect according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases? All collisions are perfectly inelastic. The particles move rapidly in constant random motion. A gas is composed of particles usually molecules or atoms. The intermolecular forces of attraction/repulsion among gas particles are negligible.

You are using a microscope to view a particle of lycopodium powder suspended in a drop of water on a microscope slide. As water molecules bombard the particle, it "jitters" about in a random motion (Brownian motion). The particle's average kinetic energy is the same as that of a molecule in an ideal gas (K = 3KBT).
