Question

(1) Calculate the rms (root-mean-square) speed of hydrogen (H2), helium (He), and oxygen (O2)
at room temperature. These speeds are very high. Evaluate these speeds against the escape velocity
from the Earth, ~11.2 [km/s].

At what temperature would the rms speed of hydrogen atoms equal the following speeds? (Note: The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.66 x 10-27 kg.) (a) the escape speed from Earth, 1.12 x 104 m/s K (b) the escape speed from the Moon, 2.37 x 10³ m/s K
Escape speed from near Earth’s surface is 1.1 x 104 m/s. (a) Find the temperature required for helium gas to have an rms speed equal to that escape speed. (b) Your answer to (a) is much higher than temperatures on Earth. Why then does helium escape from Earth’s atmosphere?
