Pressure exerted by means of an Earth's atmosphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atmospheric pressure is also termed as barometric pressure, that is the pressure exist in the Earth's atmosphere, in other words it is the pressure wielded by the atmosphere's weight.

 1 atmosphere = 760 mm Hg

Atmospheric pressure could be measured using the equation,

Atmospheric pressure = Mercury's density × acceleration through gravity × the height of mercury column.

It can be measured or given in terms of Pa, torr. atm, psi, mm Hg and so on.

Answer:

The velocity \vec{v}_{c/g} of the cart with respect to the ground is

\vec{v}_{c/g}=-40\hat{x}+80\hat{y}\, km/h

if we consider North the positive y-direction and East the positive x-direction.

Explanation:

We have for relative motion the following expression:

\vec{v}_{c/g}=\vec{v}_{c/p}+\vec{v}_{p/g}

Where \vec{v}_{c/g} is the velocity of the cart with respect to the ground, \vec{v}_{c/p} is the velocity of the cart with respect to the plane and \vec{v}_{p/g} is the velocity of the plane with respect to the ground.

We find that:

\vec{v}_{c/p}=-20\hat{y}

\vec{v}_{p/g}=-40\hat{x}+100\hat{y}

Thus:

\vec{v}_{c/g}=-20\hat{y}-40\hat{x}+100\hat{y}=-40\hat{x}+80\hat{y} \, km/h

katen-ka-za [31]
 The first right-hand rule determines the directions of magnetic force, conventional current and the magnetic field.  Given any two of theses, the third can be found. 
The second Right-Hand Rule determines the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire and vice-versa<span> </span>
So, assuming that a magnetic field <span>exists and its direction is known and assuming that a charged particle moves in a specific direction through that field with velocity (v(, to determine the direction of force on the particle we should use the second right-hand rule.</span>
