Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10^4\,K\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_{m s}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{m}} \quad v_{\text {escape }}=\sqrt{2 g R_{e}}\)

\(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\mathrm{v}_{\text {escape }}\)

\(\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{m}}=2 \mathrm{gR}_{\mathrm{e}}\)

\(\frac{3 \times 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times 6.02 \times 10^{26}}{2} \times 10 \times 10^{3}=10^{4} \mathrm{k}\)
