Question: On any planet, the presence of atmosphere implies ( $ C _{rms} $ = root mean square velocity of molecules and $ V _{e} $ = escape velocity)
Options:
A) $ C _{rms}«V _{e} $
B) $ C _{rms}>V _{e} $
C) $ C _{rms}=V _{e} $
D) $ C _{rms}=0 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] Since $ C _{rms}«V _{e}, $ hence molecules do not escape out.
