Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Rick is an Aerospace Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsions Laboratory (JPL), and is designing the next mission to Pluto called “New Horizons 2: The Sequel". This time Rick plans to study Pluto's largest moon Charon. Charon has a mass of 1.586 ×1021 kg and a mean radius of 606 km, and might have a nitrogenous atmosphere (N2) just like Pluto. If, for a massive object to have an atmosphere its escape speed must be 12 times greater than the root-mean- square (rms) velocity of the gas (otherwise the gas will slowly leak away over time), what is the maximum temperature that Charon can have and still have a nitrogenous atmosphere?
