Suppose a particular gas molecule at the surface of the Earth happens to have the rms speed
Question:
Suppose a particular gas molecule at the surface of the Earth happens to have the rms speed for that gas at exactly 0 °C. If it were to go straight up without colliding with other molecules, how high would it rise? Assume g is constant over the trajectory.
