Sound waves move through molecules. When there are no molecules in a certain space, sound cannot travel - whether in a vacuum or in space.
The resultant force in the direction the truck is headed is:
734N*cos(31) + 1084N*cos(23)
629N+998N = 1627N
A transfer of charge is actually a gross movement of electrons. Charged objects have a normal or "balanced" state. This state is balanced in a sense of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). When an object has an excess of deficiency of electrons, it will try to regain its balance by releasing or accepting electrons.
