Answer:

Negative intrapleural pressure is the correct answer

Explanation:

Intrapleural pressure is more subatmospheric in the uppermost part of the thorax than in the lowermost parts in the standing horse.

Air moves from a region of higher pressure to one of lower pressure.  Therefore, for air to be moved into or out of the lungs, a pressure difference between the atmosphere and the alveoli must be established. If there is no pressure difference, no airflow will occur.

Under normal circumstances, inspiration is accomplished by causing alveolar pressure to fall below atmospheric pressure. When the mechanics of breathing are being discussed, atmospheric pressure is conventionally referred to as 0 cm H2O, so lowering alveolar pressure below atmospheric pressure is known as negative-pressure breathing.

You have four fixed-volume containers at STP . Container A has 0.5 mol of gas in 11.2 L. Container B has 2 mol of gas in 22.4 L.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Container A and C

Explanation:

ideal gas equation gives P=nRT/V

so at constant Temperature and pressure, P=n/T

Container A and C after dividing number of moles and Volume, are found to be the same=0.0446

At a location near the equator, the earth’s magnetic field is horizontal and points north. An electron is moving vertically upwa
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2. west

Explanation:

Given an electron is moving vertically upward from ground.

Now Fleming right hand rule state that: make L shape with thumb and index finger then point middle finger perpendicular to index and thumb.Then index finger points in the direction of moving charge , middle finger points in the direction of the magnetic field and thumb points in the direction of the magnetic force.

According to Fleming right hand rule the direction of the magnetic that acts on the electron is west.

How does the electrostatic force compare with the strong nuclear force in the
diamong [38]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force

Explanation:

There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:

- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

F_E=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the  charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.

The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.

- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.

At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
