Cold air is denser and heavier, whereas warm air has less density and is lighter. heavier mediums sink, and lighter mediums float.

Because cold air tends to more dense, and it's therefore heavier, and it sinks.
Hot air though is hot with no density so it's light and rises.

Which has zero acceleration?

Llana [10]

At rest, when travelling at a constant speed, and when in mechanical equilibrium, there is no acceleration and answer choice D is correct.

<h3>How would you define acceleration?</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration describes the rate at which a driving object's velocity changes over time. They are accelerations and vector quantities. The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Depending on whether an object is moving faster, slower, or in a different direction, its velocity may change. Examples of acceleration include a falling apple, the moon orbiting the earth, and a car that has stopped at a stop sign. The car is positively accelerating if the speed is increasing. As the car slows down, its speed decreases. A decline in speed is referred to as negative acceleration. In both situations, the car is traveling ahead, yet one has a positive acceleration and the other a negative one.

A) diagram is shown on the image below

b) Mass m = 450/9.8 = 45.918 KgNet upward force = T + T = 2T = 620 NNet downward force = 290 + 160 = 450 NResultant force F = Net upward force - Net downward force ma = 620 - 450 45.918 a = 170 Acceleration a = 170/45.918 = 3.7 m/s^2 (upward)Here Net upward force > Net downward force, So the resultant force directed upwards, hence acceleration will be upward.

(c)Consider the case of boy alone, then from Newtons law of motion we can write Net force F = n + T - 290 ma = n + 310 - 290 where m = 290/9.8 = 29.59 Kg 29.59 * 3.7 = n + 20 109.483 = n + 20 n = 89.483 N
