Answer:

Lowering the humidity of the air.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for the speed of sound wave is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{\gamma RT}{M}}

Where

\gamma is the adiabatic constant

T is the temperature of air

M is the molecular mass of the gas

or

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{B}{\rho}}

B is the bulk modulus

\rho is the density of the air

As the humidity of the air increases, then the number of water molecules increase. As a result, molar mass decreases and ultimately the speed of sound increases and vice versa.

So, the correct option is (A) " lowering the humidity of the air ". Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is a warm countercurrent that periodically flows southward along the coasts of Ecuador and Peru
Maksim231197 [3]
The  "El-nino  current  is  awarm  current  that  periodically  flows  southward  along  the  coast  of Ecuador  and  Peru.  El-nino  start out  from  the  central  and  east  central of  the   pacific,   which  include  pacific  coast  of  this south  America.  this ocean    event  is  associated with  fluctuation of inter  tropical  surface  pressure  pattern and  circulation  in  the  ocean.

A 60kg skateboarder starts up a 20° slope at 5m/s then falls and slides up the hill on his knee pads. The coefficient of kinetic
klasskru [66]
2.0 meters  The skateboarder has 2 forces acting upon him to slow him down. The forces are friction, and climbing against the gravitational acceleration. So let's calculate the magnitude of these forces to see how fast he's decelerated.  The coefficient of kinetic friction is a multiplier to use against the normal force of the object. We can calculate the normal force by multiplying the mass of the object by the local gravitational acceleration and the cosine of the angle. So Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(20°) * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 165.7617783 kg*m/s^2 Df = 165.7617783 N  
The second amount of force is that caused by gravitational acceleration while climbing. That is determine by the amount of height gained for every meter along the slope. We can calculate that using the sine of the angle. So 
Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * sin(20°)
 Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.342020143
 Dg = 201.1078443 kg*m/s^2
 Dg = 201.1078443 N
 
 So the amount of force decelerating the skateboarder is:
 F = Df + Dg
 F = 165.7617783 N + 201.1078443 N
 F = 366.8696226 N
 
 Now let's determine how much kinetic energy needs to be dissipated. The equation is
 E = 0.5 MV^2 
 So we'll substitute the known values and calculate
 E = 0.5 MV^2
 E = 0.5* 60 kg * (5 m/s)^2
 E = 0.5* 60 kg * 25 m^2/s^2
 E = 750 kg*m^2/s^2
 E = 750 J 
 Now let's divide the energy by the force.
 750 kg*m^2/s^2 / 366.8696226 kg*m/s^2 = 2.04432298 m
  Rounding to 2 significant figures gives a distance of 2.0 meters.

How do you get a tachyionic particle and how are they faster than light
melomori [17]
<span>Tachyons are studied in an area called particle physics, and I must say this is a bit out of my league, but I'll give you some general thoughts. Tachyons are hypothetical particles resulting from what physicists call a thought experiment. Back in the 1960s, some physicists wondered what would happen if matter could travel faster than the speed of light, something that is supposed to be impossible according to the Theory of Relativity. So these particles may or may not exist because they have not been proven or disproven by real experiment as of yet. What people have done is apply existing formulas to the unique properties of tachyons (like imaginary mass!). What comes out is a particles that go faster when they lose energy with a MINIMUM velocity of the speed of light and a maximum velocity of infinity! Hope that helps Ben, theoretical physics is a weird place and is not too far off from philosophy.</span>

If the load is 13 cm from the fulcrum, how much effort is needed to lifth the load ? Help me.
snow_tiger [21]
That depends on a few things that you haven't told us about the setup.
So I'm going to assume one of them, and then give you the answer
in terms of another one:

-- Assume a Class-I lever . . . the fulcrum is between the load and the effort.

-- Then the effort needed to lift the load is

(the weight of the load) x (13 / the distance between the fulcrum and the effort)
