Think about how each of noise, heat, visible light, radiation and atmospheric shock waves travel. Which ones require air particles to travel?

A vacuum has no air particles within it, it is completely empty.

Therefore, any of the above that requiring particles to travel will not be able to cross it and the observer will not experience it.

A segull flying horizontally at 15m/s drops a clam. The clam takes 3.0sec to hit the ground. How high was the seagull when the c
lora16 [44]

The distance a dropped object falls, with gravity and no air resistance:

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Without air resistance, the horizontal motion has no effect on the fall.

Acceleration of Earth gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Distance = (1/2) (9.81 m/s²) (3.0 s)²

Distance = (0.5) x (9.81 m/s²) x (9.0 s²)

Distance = (0.5 x 9.81 x 9.0) (m-s² / s²)

Distance = 44.15 meters

We don't care how fast the bird was flying horizontally.  It doesn't change anything.  (It DOES determine how far ahead of the drop point the clam hits the ground.  Most problems like this ask for that distance.  This one didn't.)
