5.86 For a spacecraft or a molecule to leave the moon, it must reach the escape velocity (speed) of the moon, which is 2.37 km/s. The average daytime temperature of the moon's surface is 365 K. What is the rms speed (in m/s) of a hydrogen molecule at this temperature? How does this compare with the escape velocity?
