In outer space the density of matter is extremely low, about one atom per cm3. The matter is mainly hydrogen atoms (m = 1.67 × 10-27 kg) whose rms speed is 260 m/s. A cubical box, 1.70 m on a side, is placed in outer space, and the hydrogen atoms are allowed to enter. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that the atoms exert on one wall of the box? (b) Determine the pressure that the atoms exert. (c) What is the temperature of outer space?

Which of the following statements about batteries is false? Lithium–iodine batteries have low current, but extremely long life. Lead storage batteries contain lead at the anode and lead coated with lead dioxide at the cathode. It is not safe to recharge a nickel–cadmium battery. A fuel cell is a galvanic cell for which the reactants are continuously supplied. Dry cell batteries are used in flashlights and portable radios.

A space station is about to disintegrate. There is room for one person in an escape pod which will preserve that person’s life until a rescue vehicle can arrive. There are three persons left on the station: a 20 year old student (that is you), a 50 year old scientist and a young child. Who should be given the space in the escape pod, or should the three draw lots and decide randomly?
