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

As air is heated, the particles speed up and spread out (becoming less dense). Hot air balloon pilots can change the balloon’s a
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Turn the heater on  

Explanation:

There are two main forces involved in a balloon flight

The downward force is the total weight of the balloon: the air it contains, the gas bag, the basket, the passengers, etc.

The upward force is the weight of the of the air the balloon displaces.

During level flight ,

buoyant force = weight of displaced air - total weight of balloon

If you increase the temperature of the air in the bag, the air molecules spread out and leave through the bottom of the bag.  

The balloon still has the same volume, so the weight of displaced outside air stays the same.

However, the balloon has lost some hot inside air, so its total weight decreases.  

The upward force is greater than the downward force, so the balloon rises.
