To solve the problem, we need to calculate the pressure exerted by hydrogen molecules on a wall when they collide with it at a specific angle and speed. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify Given Values - Mass of a hydrogen molecule, \( m = 3.32 \times 10^{-27} \) kg - Number of hydrogen molecules striking the wall per second, \( n = 10^{23} \) - Area of the wall, \( A = 2 \, \text{cm}^2 = 2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2 \) - Speed of the hydrogen molecules, \( v = 10^5 \, \text{cm/s} = 10^3 \, \text{m/s} \) - Angle of incidence, \( \theta = 45^\circ \) ...
