The correct answer is it decreases as someone moves away from earth's surface.

The atmospheric pressure decreases when you go near the surface of the earth. Atmospheric pressure can also be referred to as barometric pressure.

This is the pressure which is being found in the earth's atmosphere. It is approximated by pressure of hydrostatic which is known to be caused by weight of air where the measurement points are above.

When elevation increases, there is decrease in atmospheric pressure.

Force per unit are is measured by pressure.

A straight segment of a current-carrying wire has a current element IL where I = 2.70 A and L = 3.20 cm i + 4.30 cm j. The segme

myrzilka [38]

The component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

The given parameters;

current in the wire, I = 2.7 A
length of the wire, L = (3.2 i + 4.3j) cm
magnetic filed, B = 1.24 i

The force on the segment of the wire is calculated as follows;

$F = ILBsin(\theta)$

where;

θ is the angle wire and magnetic field

The force on the wire segment will be perpendicular in negative z-direction (applying right hand rule), so there won't be any x and y component of the force.

The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is calculated as follows;

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{y}{x} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{4.3}{3.2} )\\\\\theta = 53.3 \ ^0$

The magnitude of the wire length is calculated as follows;

$|l | = \sqrt{3.2^2 + 4.3^2} = 5.36 \ cm = 0.0536 \ m$

The component of the force in negative z-direction is calculated as;

$F_z = -ILB sin(\theta)\\\\F_z = -2.7 \times 0.0536 \times 1.24 \times sin(53.3)\\\\F_z = -0.144 \ N$

Thus, the component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

when an object falls to the ground, only the object moves down but the earth's motion is not noticeable.why?

vlada-n [284]

Both the object and earth pulls each other towards itself but since the mass and pulling force of objects are very small the pulling force of objects are negligible.
