It is theoretically possible for a substance to have a negative value of cubical expansivity, which means that the substance would contract rather than expand when the temperature increases. However, it is very rare for a substance to have a negative value of cubical expansivity over a significant range of temperatures.

One example of a substance that has a negative value of cubical expansivity over a limited range of temperatures is water. Water has a positive value of cubical expansivity at...

No, if three vectors do not lie in a plane, they cannot give zero resultant.

Explanation:

Let A, B and C be three vectors. If they give zero resultant, then

     A+B+C=0

or, A= -(B+C)

Hence, they will produce zero resultant, if A is equal to negative of vector (B+C). The vector (B+C) lies in the plane of B and C. Hence, A will be equal to negative of (B+C) if AB and C all lie in a plane.

Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.

As we know that wave of sound is a mechanical wave and its speed is given by

v = (γRT/M)

whereas the wave of light is an electromagnetic wave and its speed is given by

c = (1/εoμo

So speed of sound depends on temperature of air but speed of light doesn't.
