The New Horizons space probe flew by Pluto in 2015. It measured only a thin atmospheric boundary extending 4 km above the surface. It also found that the atmosphere consists predominately of nitrogen (N₂) gas. The work to elevate a single N₂ molecule to this distance is 5.7536-10-23 J New Horizons also determined that the atmospheric pressure on Pluto is 1.3 Pa at a distance of 3 km from the surface. What is the atmospheric density at this elevation? mN2 = 2.32-10-26 kg Oa6.99-104 kg/m3 Ob 442-10-2 kg/m3 Oc442-10-5 kg/m³ Od 6.99-101 kg/m3
