. A nitrogen molecule having the average kinetic energy at
Chapter 6, Problem 119(choose chapter or problem)
. A nitrogen molecule having the average kinetic energy at 300 K is released from Earth s surface to travel upward. If the molecule could move upward without colliding with other molecules, then how high would it go before coming to rest? Give your answer in kilometers. [Hint: When the molecule comes to rest, the potential energy of the molecule will be mgh, where m is the molecular mass in kilograms, is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height, in meters, above Earth s surface.]
