Which statement about atmospheric pressure near earth's surface is true

Physics
1 answer:
Artemon [7]3 years ago
7 0

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 ladder rests against a vertical wall at a point 12 feet from the floor. The angle formed by the ladder and the floor is 63°. C
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

Explanation:

given data

height h  = 12 feet

angle 63°

to find out

length of the ladder ( L) and length of wall to ladder ( A) and angle between  ladder and the wall

solution

we consider here angle between base of wall and floor is right angle

we apply here trigonometry rule that is

sin63 = h/L

put here value

L = 12 / sin63

L = 13.47

so length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

and

we can say

tan 63 = h / A

put here value

A = 12 / tan63

A = 6.10

so base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

and

we say here

tanθ = 6.10 / 12

θ = 26.95°

so angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

How will the magnetic field of a straight wire carrying a constant current interact with the needle of a compass? Does the inter
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.

Explanation:

A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.

Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.

When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.

The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.

A bus starts from rest.if the acceleration is 2m/s square, find
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The velocity after 2 seconds can be found through:

V = u +a*t

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

V = 0 + 2* 2= 4 meters/second

The distance (s) can be found through:

V^2= u^2 +2*a* s

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration.

4^2= 0^2 + 2 *2*s

16= 0 + 4s

s= 4 meters

Distance (s) can also be found through:

s= ut + 1/2 at^2

s= 0+ 1/2 *2*2^2= 1 *2*2

s= 4 meters
