Question:

The escape velocity from the Earth’s surface is given by vE = (2gR)1/2, where g is gravitational acceleration (9.807 m s–2) and R is the radius of the Earth (6.37 × 106 m).

a. At what temperature will νmp for N2 be equal to the escape velocity?

b. How does the answer for part (a) change if the gas of interest is He?
