On any planet,the presence of an atmosphere implies ($C_{rms}$ = root mean square velocity of molecules and $V_e$ = escape velocity):

  • A
    $C_{rms} << V_e$
  • B
    $C_{rms} > V_e$
  • C
    $C_{rms} = V_e$
  • D
    $C_{rms} = 0$

The average speed $\bar{v}$ and $r.m.s.$ speed $v_{rms}$ of the molecules are related as

If ${V_H}$,${V_N}$,and ${V_O}$ denote the root-mean-square velocities of molecules of hydrogen,nitrogen,and oxygen respectively at a given temperature,then:

The temperature of a gas is $-50^{\circ}C$. To what temperature should the gas be heated so that the $rms$ speed is increased by $3$ times?

Column-$I$ represents the formula for ${v_{rms}}$ and Column-$II$ represents the corresponding condition (phenomena). Match them correctly:
