I think the complete question is:

An old movie poster used a quote "In space, no one can hear you scream!" Which of these best explains the quote?

A) The quote is incorrect, you can hear sound in outer space.

B) Sound cannot be polarized. So, you cannot hear sound in space.

C) Sound is an electromagnetic wave and needs no medium to travel through.

D) Sound needs a medium for the wave to vibrate and there is nothing in space to vibrate.

Answer:

D) Sound needs a medium for the wave to vibrate and there is nothing in space to vibrate.

Explanation:

There are two types of waves:

  1. Mechanical Waves : These waves requires are medium to travel from one point of space to another point of space. Sound wave is one such example. Since they depend upon medium so speed of travelling also depend upon medium.
  2. Electromagnetic Waves :  These type of waves do not require a medium to travel. If medium exists then it will cause some hindrance in there path but still they will travel. For example: Light waves, X-Rays, Microwaves, Infrared waves, Ultraviolet waves etc.

In space no particle exists so no mechanical waves, such as sound, can travel through it but any electromagnetic wave can travel, such as light. That is why when astronauts are in space walk or when they are in outer space then they do not talk rather they use sign language to communicate

Three basic electrical effects occur when an electric current flows in a conductor: A magnetic field is set up around the conduc
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

A drop in voltage occurs  

Explanation:

When electric current flows through a conduct, there are three basic electrical effects that occur to the conductor;

1. A magnetic field is set up around the conductor,

      A magnetic field is formed around a conductor when current flows through it which makes it acts like a magnet. Application is used in electric bells.

2. Heat is generated, and

     The heating effect of current is due to the conversion of some of the electrical energy that passes through the conductor, into heat energy. Application of heat effect include electric iron, microwave oven, electric bulb, hair straightener etc.

                          H = I²Rt

3. A drop in voltage occurs  

      Voltage drop is as a result of current passing through the impedance  offers by the conductor or circuit elements. When current passes through a conductor, the resistance offers opposition to the flow of the electric current according to Ohm's law.

Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed
Anni [7]
Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.

You yell into a canyon. You hear the echo in 3 seconds. How long did the sound of your voice travel before bouncing off a cliff?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

Explanation:

The sound is an example of mechanical wave, which means that it needs a medium to propagate itself at constant speed. The time needed to hear the echo is equal to twice the height of the canyon divided by the velocity of sound. In addition, the speed of sound through the air at a temperature of 20 ºC is approximately 344 meters per second. Then, the height of the canyon can be derived from the following kinematic formula:

2\cdot h = v\cdot t (1)

Where:

h - Height, measured in meters.

v - Velocity of sound, measured in meters per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that  v = 344\,\frac{m}{s} and t = 3\,s, then the height of the canyon is:

h = \frac{v\cdot t}{2}

h = \frac{\left(344\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (3\,s)}{2}

h = 516\,m

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

On isolated ground receptacles, the metal yoke ____ integrally bonded to the equipment grounding terminal of the receptacle.
Ede4ka [16]

On isolated ground receptacles, the metal yoke is not allowed to be integrally bonded to the equipment grounding terminal of the receptacle.

Any device with two distinct switches or receptacles is a duplex device. It can be shaped to fit a Decora opening or a typical duplex plate opening. It should be noted that they can be combination devices with a switch/outlet, switch/pilot light, etc.

Because of grounding connection removal and receptacle, it is utterly undesirable to connect the two bare equipment grounding conductors together directly.

The equipment grounding conductor associated with those circuits must be connected to the box when circuit conductors are terminated on equipment inside a metal box to prevent unneeded current discharge.
