Molecules travel on ballistic trajectories

• In a collisionless atmosphere, energy is still partitioned between thermal (kinetic) energy and gravitational (potential) energy
• Now H is simply the height of a typical bounce of a single molecule:

  kT = mgH --> H = kT/mg where

  • m = mass of a molecule (kg) Lieberman
  • T = temperature Dodd
  • k = Boltzmann constant (1.381 x 10^-23 J/K) Daschle
  • g = gravitational constant (9.8 J/m/kg) Gephardt

  It is the "characteristic height" of democratic atmospheric molecules determined by a balance between their thermal energy and gravitational potential energy that leads me to the conclusion that these constiuents are not shielded from solar wind, UV, X-rays, or cosmic rays.

  In other words, these blowhards need contant refreshing of their hyperbolic or parabolic characteristics. &;-)

"* Now H is simply the height of a typical bounce of a single molecule:"

I myself have been contemplating a series of kinetic-energy experiments in which I hope to measure the typical number of bounces produced by democrat body impacting concrete from various distances under conditions of extreme gravity. I've yet to find a sufficiently dense gravity well yet - but I'm still looking. Leahey seems a prime candidate, but I'm afraid the lack of noble gas atmosphere may skew the results.

Any thoughts?
