Answer:

d. At the base of the fire

Explanation:

Most fire extinguisher utilize the non-combustible nature of carbon-dioxide . carbon-dioxide is what is used in fire extinguishers, because it does not support burning. Also, carbon-dioxide is denser than air, allowing it to sink down. Aiming at the bottom of the flame allows the carbon-dioxide to sink down on the base of the flame, covering the base of the fire, and cutting off its supply of oxygen which is vital for combustion.

A negative velocity, approaching zero, represents a negative acceleration. True or False
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Lets assume our positive direction to the right (this reasoning works for any direction). A negative velocity would then be then directed to the left. If it varies as such that it aproaches to zero, it means that the variation is directed to the right, and that is where the direction of the acceleration must be pointing. In other words, its losing its velocity, so the acceleration must point opposite to the velocity. Then it means the acceleration is positive.
