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.

Combine these three velocity vectors into a resultant: 3.0 m/s north, 4.0 m/s east 1.0 m/s west. Identify the resultant vector

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s

Explanation:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s west based on triangle law of vector addition, when two sides of a triangle is represented by two vectors, the resultant vector is the third side of the triangle.
