Answer:11 km/s
Explanation:
Given
Escape velocity at the surface of earth is 11 km/s
Escape velocity is given by
Escape velocity at the surface of earth
--------------------1
If Escape velocity is three times and the radius is also the three times
i.e.
A. Average speed is weighted mean (1 × 2 + 2 × 3 + 3 × 5 + 4 × 7 + 3 × 9 + 2 × 12.5)/15 = (2 + 6 + 15 + 28 + 27 + 25)/15 = 103/15 = 6.867 b. RMS is square root of 1/15 times sum of squares of speeds Sum of squares is 4 + 9 + 9 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 81 + 81 + 81 +156.25 + 156.25 = 848.5
c. RMS speed = √(848.5/15) = 7.521
Most likely the speed is the peak in the speed distribution, which is 7.
Bro I really think it might be c
