Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air above you. It seems silly , but you have to rememeber that the air is full of molecules of different elements ( nitrogen , oxygen , CO2 , etc ... ) and the have atomic weight.
Thats why there is less pressure on top of you when you are at greater altitudes , there is less air above you.

Hope it helps !
It would be awesome if you marked this awnser as Branliest! Thx :)

A particle is confined to the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 1 nm. The potential energy U = 0 inside this region and U is infinite
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to heisenberg uncertainty Principle

Δx Δp ≥ h / 4π , where Δx  is uncertainty in position , Δp is uncertainty in momentum .

Given

Δx = 1 nm

Δp ≥ h /1nm x  4π

≥ 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 10⁻⁹ x  4 π

≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

h / λ ≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ /. 5254 x ⁻²⁵ ≥ λ  

12.56 x 10⁻⁹ ≥ λ  

longest wave length = 12.56 n m

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

T = 0.225 s

Explanation:

The speed of a projectile at the highest point of its motion is the horizontal speed of the projectile. Considering the horizontal motion with negligible air resistance, we can use the following formula:

v_x = RT\\\\T = \frac{v_x}{R}

where,

T = Total time of ball in air = ?

R = Horizontal distance covered = 40 m

v_x = horizontal speed = 9 m/s

Therefore,

T = \frac{9\ m/s}{40\ m}

<u>T = 0.225 s</u>

With certain exceptions, Class E airspace extends upward from either 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL to, but does not include,A) 14,5
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

B) 18,000 feet MSL

Explanation:

There are three-dimensional parts in the navigation airspace in the world. The class E airspace is mostly used in the regions with coastal areas that are relatively populated. If we consider certain forms of exceptions, the class E airspace can move in the upward direction to few feet (i.e. 1200 ft). However, this doesn't include 18,000 feet MSL.
