because sound needs to travel through a medium , like air . much of outer space is a vacuum, with nothing there , so sound has nothing to travel through . Light does not need a medium to travel through .


I hope that's help !

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.

Please Help!!

Answer:

Potential energy of spring = 24 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Spring constant = 85N/m

Extension, e = 0.75m

Mass = 25kg

To find the potential energy of a spring

Potential energy of a spring is given by the formula;

P.E = ½ke²

Substituting into the equation, we have

P.E = ½*85*0.75²

P.E = 42.5 * 0.5625

P.E = 23.91 ≈ 24 Joules

P.E = 24 Joules

A student attempted to measure the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.4 kJ/g

Explanation:

The given readings are;

The first (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₁ = 581 g

The second (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₂ = 526 g

The first joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₁ = 195 kJ

The second joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₂ = 327 kJ

The latent heat of vaporization = The heat required to evaporate a given mass water at constant temperature

Based on the measurements, we have;

The latent heat of vaporization = ΔQ/Δm

∴ The latent heat of vaporization of water = (327 kJ - 195 kJ)/(581 g - 526 g) = 2.4 kJ/g

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.4 kJ/g
