At what temperature will the average velocity of oxygen molecules be sufficient so as to escape from the earth ? Escape velocity of earth is 11.0 kms^(-1) and mass of one molecule of oxygen is 5.34xx10^(-26) kg. Boltzmann constant =1.38xx10^(-23) " J molecule"^(-1) K^(-1) .

A planet in a distant solar system is 10 times more massive than the Earth and its radius is 10 times smaller. Given that the escape velocity from the Earth is 11 km s^(-1) , the escape velocity from the surface of the planet would be:

A planet has the radius twice that of earth and has same density as that of earth. If V_(p)andV_(e) are the escape velocities for the planet and earth, then which of the following correct relation is:
