- A particle on the surface of the Earth can "escape" the Earth's gravitation and continue to move away from the Earth forever, if it has a sufficient speed (called the escape speed). (a) Determine the escape speed (in m/s) if the particle is an oxygen molecule. Use 6.37 x 106 m for radius of the Earth. m/s (b) Determine the temperature (in K) at which the rms speed of the oxygen molecule is 13 times the escape speed. T = K (c) What If? The Universe is composed of 75% hydrogen and 25% helium by mass, yet these gases are not found in the Earth's atmosphere.
