For a spacecraft or a molecule to leave the moon, it must reach the escape velocity (speed) of the moon, which is 2.37 km/s. The

average daytime temperature of the moon’s surface is 365 K. What is the rms speed (in m/s) of an oxygen molecule at this temperature?rms speed = m/s

Answer:

Vrms = 291 m/s

Explanation:

The root mean square velocity or vrms is the square root of the average square velocity and is. vrms=√3RTM. Where M is equal to the molar mass of the molecule in kg/mol.

Temperature = 365 K

Root mean square velocity = ?

molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol.

But xygen gas (O2) is comprised of two oxygen atoms bonded together. Therefore:

   molar mass of O2 = 2 x 16

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

   Convert this to kg/mol:

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol x 1 kg/1000 g

   molar mass of O2 = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Vrms = √[3(8.3145 (kg·m2/sec2)/K·mol)(365 K)/3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol]

Vrms = 291 m/s

Answer:

Vrms = 533 m/s

Explanation:

The formula for the root mean square molecular speed is given as;

V_rms=√(3RT/M)

Where;

M is the molar mass of the molecule

T is Temperature

R is gas constant which has a value of 8.31 J/mol.k

V_rms is root mean square speed

Now let's calculate the molar mass of the molecule whuch in this case is oxygen.

Oxygen has a formula of O_2

Now, molar mass of one atom is 16 g/mol

Thus, molar mass of the 2 atoms would be; 2 x 16 = 32 g/mol = 0.032 kg/mol

T = 365K

So, plugging in the relevant values, we obtain;

V_rms = √[(3x8.31x365 )/0.032]

Vrms = 533 m/s

Answer: I am pretty sure that you should pick radio waves.

Explanation: The scientist should use radio waves. I think this because you can use the radio waves to analyze the signals from outer space. This will work much better than anything there, to analyze it the best possible.

The best I could do.
