Sound waves are not able to travel in a vacuum, sound requires a medium such as air or a solid for example.  Satellites are indeed in space, but radio waves are not sound waves they are a form of light.  Light can travel in a vacuum so the messages that satellites beam back to Earth are light waves not sound waves, that is why it is possible.

In some plants, the pistils don’t Form until a few days after the stamens do.How might this keep a plant from self pollinating
KATRIN_1 [288]

For a flower to be pollinated, pollen from an anther (which is located at the top of the stamen) needs to reach a stigma (at the top of the pistle.) Some plants are genetically capable of pollinating themselves if their own pollen reaches their own stigma; some plants are not capable of self pollination under any circumstances.

For plants that can genetically self pollinate, but would prefer not to, they can avoid this by having their pistil and pollen/stamens mature at different times. If the stamens mature first, the pollen will be dispersed by animals or wind or whatever dispersal mechanism it relies on. Then by the time the pistil is ready to be pollinated, there is no pollen left in that flower to land on the stigma.

If a car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy, what is the maximum efficiency?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

The car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy

So only 35 % is converted into mechanical energy .

input heat = Q₁ = 100

output heat = Q₂ = 65

Work output = Q₁ - Q₂ = W

W = 100 - 65 = 35

Efficiency = W / Q₁ X 100

= (35/ 100) X 100

= 35%.
