Answer:

Sound travels slower in cold temperatures than in hot temperatures because the particles in cold air are more closely compacted together and move slower compared to the particles of hot air. Thus the sound, vibrations of particles in the atmosphere, will travel slower.

The components of vector A are:
Korvikt [17]

here as it is given that x component of the vector is positive while y component of the vector is negative so we can say the vector must inclined in Fourth quadrant.

So angle must be more than 270 degree and less than 360 degree

Now in order to find the value we can say that

tan\theta = \frac{opposite\: side}{adjacent\: side}

tan\theta = \frac{8.6}{6.1}

\theta = tan^{-1}1.41

\theta = 54.65^0

so it is inclined at above angle with X axis in fourth quadrant

Now if angle is to be measured counterclockwise then its magnitude will be

\theta = 360 - 54.65 = 305.3^0

so the correct answer will be 305 degree

A 12.8-kg monkey hangs from a cord suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. The cord can withstand a tension of 156N and break
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

2.4 m/s^2

Downward

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of monkey=12.8 kg

Tension=156 N

We have to find the magnitude of the elevator's minimum acceleration.

T=m(g+a)

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

156=12.8(a+9.8)

9.8+a=\frac{156}{12.8}=12.2

a=12.2-9.8=2.4 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration =a=2.4 m/s^2

Direction of the elevator's minimum acceleration is downward because the elevator moves downwards.
