Scientific paper

The Whipple formula for the emission velocity of meteoroid dust from the surface of a cometary nucleus is reviewed and it is concluded that, in normal circumstances, the dust velocity is `low', typically being less than 20% the radial gas velocity. If, however, the dust particle contains some embedded snows when it leaves the cometary nucleus, its final velocity is considerably increased.
