Please answer with thanks

Calculate the speed v of a typical hydrogen molecule in the Earth's atmosphere. Estimate the average temperature of a hydrogen molecule on Earth. Calculate the speed v. (Use your estimate.) m / s Is v less than or greater than the escape speed? (Assume the escape speed is 11,200 m / s.) less than greater than Experiments show that a hydrogen molecule released into the atmosphere escapes into outer space. If v is less than the escape speed, why is this so? Hydrogen can still escape because the escape speed does not consider the potential energy of the Sun or Moon. v is not less than the escape speed. Hydrogen can still escape because it has a distribution of speeds as given by the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Hydrogen can still escape because escape speeds only apply to large objects, and not to molecules.

Explanation / Answer

-90C or 180k

speed:

?(183 / 293) = 0.79

so

Their velocity would be 0.79 x 509 = 402 meters per second.

so

v is less than escape speed

Hydrogen can still escape because escape speeds only apply to large objects, and not to molecues
