Satellites designed to observe me radiation from cold (3 K) dark space have sensors that are shaded from the Sun, Earth, and Moon and that are cooled to very low temperatures. Why must the sensors be at low temperature?
The number density of air in a child's balloon is roughly the same as sea level air, 1019 particles/cm3. If the balloon is now 20 cm in diameter, to what diameter (in km) would it need to expand to make the gas inside have the same number density as the ISM, about 1 particle/cm3?
Near the surface of a certain kind of star, approximately one hydrogen atom per 10 million is in the first excited level (n = 2). Assume that the other atoms are in the n = 1 level. Use this information to estimate the temperature there, assuming that Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics are valid.
Briefly describe the contribution of Walter Nernst, T.W. Richards, Max Planck and G.N. Lewis in the development of the third law of thermodynamics
If you consider a very small object such as a grain of pollen, in a gas, then the number of atoms and molecules striking its surface would also be relatively small. Would the grain of pollen experience any fluctuations in pressure due to statistical fluctuations in the number of gas atoms and molecules striking it in a given amount of time?

Vantablack is the world's "blackest" object, which can absorb 99.965% of the 663-nm wavelength of light that strikes normal to its surface. Calculate the total heat flow in a sphere of radius r = 10 m made with Vantablack if the object is at 1000 K and the surrounding temperature is 300 K. Assume that the emissivity of the Vantablack to be 0.997. The value of the Stefan-Boltzman constant is σ = 5.67 x 10^-8 W/m^2·K^4.
