Answer:
kinetic mechanical energy
Sound energy cannot travel through a vacuum.
Explanation:
Waves are periodic disturbance of the space, which travel carrying energy but not matter.
There are two types of waves:
- Mechanical waves: mechanical waves propagate through the vibrations of the particles in a medium. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves.
- Electromagnetic waves: these waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, perpendicular to each other. These waves do not need a medium to propagate, so they can also travel in a vacuum.
In this problem, we are analyzing sound energy, which is the energy carried by sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical waves, so they need a medium to propagate: therefore, they cannot travel through a vacuum, since there is no medium.
So, sound energy cannot travel through a vacuum.

At stp conditions (
), the speed of sound is
The sound wave moves by uniform motion, so we can use the basic relationship between space, time and velocity:
where S is the distance covered by the sound wave in a time t. In our problem, t=3.00 s, therefore the distance covered by the sound wave is
<span> the speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the temperature of the air. The speed of sound depends on the temperature of the surrounding air, this can be represented by a speed of sound in air formula: v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T (where T is temperature)</span>
