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!

A wagon is pulled at a speed of 0.40metets/seconds by a horse exerting an 1,800 Newton's horizontal force. what is the power of
Tatiana [17]

Given:

speed of 0.40meters/seconds

1,800 Newton's horizontal force

Required:

Power of the horse

Solution:

P = F(D/T) where P is power in watts, F is the force, D is the distance and T is time

P = (1,800N) (0.40 meters/seconds)

P = 720 Watts
