Answer:

B: The air pressure decreases

Explanation:

Pressure at any given height in the atmosphere is the total weight of the air above a unit area at any height.

Increase in elevation leads to decrease or lesser air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Answer:

B. the air pressure decreases

Explanation:

As elevation increases, there is less overlying atmospheric pressure mass, so that atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevaton.

A particle of mass 10 g and charge 72 μC moves through a uniform magnetic field, in a region where the free-fall acceleration is

sineoko [7]

Answer:

$-0.07163\hat k\ T$ or 0.07163 T into the page

Explanation:

m = Mass of particle = 10 g

a = Acceleration due to gravity = -9.8j m/s²

v = Velocity of particle = 19i km/s

q = Charge of particle = 72 μC

B = Magnetic field

Here the magnetic and gravitational forces on the particle are applied in the opposite direction so,

$F_b=F_g$

$F_b=qvBsin\theta\\\Rightarrow F_b=qvBsin90\\\Rightarrow F_b=72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000B$

$F_g=ma\\\Rightarrow F_g=0.01\times -9.8$

$72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000B=0.01\times -9.8\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{0.01\times -9.8}{72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000}\\\Rightarrow B=-0.07163\hat k\ T$

The magnetic field is 0.07163 T into the page
