Answer:

In a vacuum

Explanation:

Sound is a type of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves that propagate through the oscillation of the particles in a medium, which can be either gas, liquid or solid.

A sound wave in air, for instance, is simply produced by the oscillations of the air particles back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave.

Given this definition, it is clear that mechanical waves (and so, sound waves as well) cannot be transmitted if there is no medium: therefore, they cannot be transmitted in a vacuum. So, the sound of the ringing bell would not be present in a vacuum.

Licemer1 [7]

There are supposed to be numbers in these places:

" _____ of methane"

" ... pressure of exactly _____ "

" ... temperature of _____ "

I've seen a lot of questions with missing numbers before, but I think this is the first time I ever saw a question where even the number of significant digits to round the answer to is missing.

"Round your answer to _____ significant digits."

Determine the right answer to fill in the blank spaces
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A pure substance is something that is entirely made up of particles that are identical to each other.

Any substance that is not pure, must be a mixture.

We are surrounded by mixtures. The air is a mixture of gases . The oceans are a mixture of (mainly) water and salt. The solid earth is mostly rock, which is a mixture of different minerals.

Natural resources are substances we need and use, which occur naturally. Some come from living things, (example) cotton other are non-living (example)  sand.

The opposite of a natural resource is a made resource.
