Yes, the trachea would collapse in this situation.
The trachea is a tube composed of cartilage which connects the pharynx and larynx to the lungs. It is a critical structure for all air-breathing animals and its main responsibility is to facilitate the passage of air. The trachea is surrounded by several c-shaped and incomplete cartilaginous rings which prevent it from collapsing.

The answer is YES. The trachea would collapse during exhaling due to the negative pressure developed as a result of evacuating air from the lungs. Physics dictates that the area with high pressure (outside environment) pressure on the region with low air pressure (in the lungs during exhalation).

Is the statement "I joined the science club to make my parents happy" intrinsic motivation
Bess [88]
Depends on whether the person is talking to themselves, or someone else.
If they are talking to themselves, it is indeed intrinsic motivation, as they are convincing themselves they are also happy and motivated to join the science club as it makes their parents happy.
If they are talking to someone else, it would not be intrinsic motivation. This is because they are merely telling someone that they're doing something to make their parents happy.
As it is a statement, on the whole I would say, no. It is not intrinsic motivation.
