$A$ molecule is travelling in air at $300 \, K$ and $1 \, atm$, and the radius of the molecule is $0.6 \times 10^{-10} \, m$. Calculate the approximate mean free path of the molecule. (The number density is $2.44 \times 10^{25} \, \text{molecules}/m^3$)

  • A
    $\frac{0.2}{\pi} \times 10^{-5} \, m$
  • B
    $\frac{0.3}{\pi} \times 10^{-5} \, m$
  • C
    $\frac{0.4}{\pi} \times 10^{-5} \, m$
  • D
    $\frac{0.1}{\pi} \times 10^{-5} \, m$

Ten small planes are flying at a speed of $150 \ km/h$ in total darkness in an air space that is $20 \times 20 \times 1.5 \ km^3$ in volume. You are in one of the planes, flying at random within this space with no way of knowing where the other planes are. On the average, about how long a time will elapse between near collisions with your plane? Assume for this rough computation that a safety region around the plane can be approximated by a sphere of radius $10 \ m$.
