Why moon has no atmosphere?

The escape velocity (the minimum velocity with which a body is to be projected so as to escape from the gravitational pull) on the surface of moon is very much less, less than the RMS velocity (Root Mean Square velocity) of the molecules of gas at the surface temperature of moon. Therefore the molecules will escape and therefore moon cannot hold an atmosphere.

The expression for escape velocity is √2gR

The value of escape velocity on earth is 11200 m/s

The value of escape velocity on moon is 2400 m/s (approximately)

The moon's surface temperature cycles between −155°C and 100° C (−247° and 212° Fahrenheit). As temperature increases the speed of molecules become more than the escape velocity.

However, moon has an extremely thin atmosphere.

CBSE EXPLAINS THE WAY TO ATTEMPT EXAM

Excerpt from http://cbse.nic.in/helpline/final_2012.pdf

IN THE EXAMINATION HALL
• Try to think positive and maintain positive attitude giving the test.
• Once in the hall, take time to settle down and set your table.
• Ignore symptoms of anxiety and focus on your task.
• Do not hurry into reading the question paper.
• Read the directions slowly and carefully. If there are any doubts clarify with the instructor, teacher or invigilator.
• Feel comfortable before you start your answers.
• Budget the time and plan the answers. Allocate time for each question.
• Do the simple questions first to help you build up your confidence for the harder questions.
• Choose the best known questions if choices are available.
• If you do not know a question, move on to the next after leaving some space; try it later. If not sure of an answer, do not spend long time thinking and recalling answers. Go to the next question. Handle the less known questions later.
• Leave space after each answer so that you can add later if you need to.

DEBATE ON EFFICACY OF CCE HEATING UP

CBSE IS TAKING STOCK ON THE EFFICACY OF THE NEWLY INTRODUCED CCE.

There has been wide complaint among teachers of higher secondary section that the standard of students reaching class XI has declined after the introduction of CCE. Students who do not have real aptitude and interest get admission to science stream because of their high grades which they do not really deserve. The system of education upto class X and that of class XI are widely different. The students find it extremely difficult to cope up with the level and standard of class XI science.

Many feel frustrated when they find out that they have reached the wrong place. They wonder what to do next. Many of them even get ready to lose one year for the right stream for which they are really fit.

Now CBSE has also started receiving the feedback from various sources and they are now taking data and analyzing what has gone wrong.

Do you find CCE wrong?

Is it necessary to replace it with the old system?

OR can it be modified and implemented effectively without harming the future of students?

What is your response on CCE? Post them as comments to this post and let the higher authorities read it.

Problem from Surface Tension

A liquid drop of diameter 4mm breaks into 1000 droplets of equal size . Calculate resultant change in surface energy. the surface tension of liquid is 0.07N/m.

Hints.

• The volume of droplets remains the same. from this you can calculate the new radius.


• Change in surface energy = surface tension x increase in surface area
