The cosine of an angle is negative in_quadrants.
Correct answer: B. Second and third
- A. Second and fourth
- B. Second and third
- C. First and third
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Quadrants are the four regions formed by the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis on a Cartesian coordinate system. They're numbered counterclockwise starting from the positive x-axis:1. First Quadrant: Both x and y values are positive.2. Second Quadrant: x values are negative, y values are positive.3. Third Quadrant: Both x and y values are negative.4. Fourth Quadrant: x values are positive, y values are negative.

About Vectors and Equilibrium
Vectors have magnitude and direction, unlike scalars, and are combined by head-to-tail or parallelogram methods. Work covers rectangular components, equilibrium when the resultant force is zero, the scalar product for work and projections, and the vector product for torque and cross-product direction using the right-hand rule.
