Answer:

The statement about atmospheric pressure that is false is <u><em>option d) With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure increases as well. </em></u>

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure as the force exerted by atmospheric air on the earth's surface. The higher the height of the earth's surface with respect to sea level, which is the reference point, the lower the air pressure. In other words, atmospheric pressure decreases in altitude. This is because, the higher the height, the smaller the amount of air present for pressure. For example, on a mountain the amount of air in the highest part is less than that on a beach. This means that there is lower atmospheric pressure at the top.

Although it must be taken into account that the atmospheric pressure does not decrease proportionally in height, due to the high compressibility of the fluid (gas).

At sea level, which is the reference point, atmospheric pressure takes a value in different units of 1 atmosphere, 1013 millibars or 760 mm Hg.

So, <u><em>the statement about atmospheric pressure that is false is option d) With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure increases as well.</em></u> This is because, as mentioned, with an increase in altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases.

A flat, circular, copper loop of radius r is at rest in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B that extends far beyond the edge
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

     i =- \frac{r \ A'}{2 \ rho} ,  i =  0.92   A

Explanation:

This exercise asks for the electromotive force, which can be calculated with Faraday's law

          fem = - \frac{d \Phi_B }{dt}

where the magnetic flux

          Ф = B. A

bold letters indicate vectors. We can write this equation

          Ф = B A cos θ

In this case the magnetic field is perpendicular to the page and the normal to the loop of the loop is also parallel to the page, therefore the angle is zero and the cosine is 1

the loop is

          A = π r²

we substitute in the first equation

          fem = - π r² \frac{dB}{dt}

we substitute the values

          fem = -π r² 1

          fem = - π r²

to calculate the current let's use ohm's law

           V = i R

            R = ρ L / A'

where A 'is the area of ​​the wire and L is the length of the loop

            L = 2π r

           

            V = i (ρ 2π r / A ')

            I = \frac{V \ A'}{2\pi  \ r  \ rho}

         

In this case

           V = fem

 

           I = fem / R            

           i =- \frac{r \ A'}{2 \ rho}

         

In order to complete the calculation, you need the radius of the loop and / or the wire cutter.

if we assume that the loop has a radius of r = 1 cm = 0.01 m and an area of ​​the wire   A'= π 10⁻⁶ m²   a radius of the wire 1 mm

           i = - 10⁻² π 10⁻⁶ / ( 2 1.7 10-8)

           i =  0.92   A

When Jane drives to work, she always places her purse on the passenger’s seat. By the time she gets to work, her purse has falle
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
At some time during her drive she backed up with a substantial negative. ( backwards) acceleration. Since the pocket book is not physically connected to the seat it is free to move. Upon rapid negative acceleration the pocket book remains in its position while the car accelerates backwards away from it. this demonstrates Newtons 1st law of motion. The first law is the law of inertia. Which states, an object at rest. ( pocketbook) will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by some outside force to change its motion.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

A) Having a positive slope

D) Approaching zero pressure as temperature approaches infinity

Explanation:

A fixed amount of ideal gas is kept in a container of fixed volume. The absolute pressure P, in pascals, of the gas is plotted as a function of its temperature T, in degrees Celsius. Which of the following are properties of a best fit curve to the data? Select two answers.

A) Having a positive slope

B) Passing through the origin

C) Having zero pressure at a certain negative temperature

D) Approaching zero pressure as temperature approaches infinity

solution

from the ideal gas equation

PV=nRT

P=pressure

T=absolute temperature in kelvin

V=volume

R=gas constant 8.314j/molK

n=mole= mass/molecular mass

P=nRT/V

nR/V is the constant

P=nR(Tc+273)/V

plotting the graph we will discover that as pressure increases , temperature also increases . which means it's a positive graph.

Also  Approaching zero pressure as temperature approaches infinity
