Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 54.0 N at the s
butalik [34]

Answer:

m=5.51Kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by W=mg, so we can calculate its mass by doing m=W/g, which for our values is:

m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N

A quantity that has direction as well as size is a scalar.<br><br><br> True or False
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

Explanation:

hope this helps...
