Usually, sound needs a medium to travel through, like a vacuum for example. 

Light does not need a medium to travel, and since air is considered a medium, light is not dependent on that. 

On the other hand, sound needs a medium to travel through, and outer space doesn't contain space, therefore, no sound.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>
