Due to its polarity and hydrogen bonding water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change.. The high specific heat of water helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual instead of sudden, especially near the oceans.
Yes, electromagnetic can travel without medium.
Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves are two important ways that energy is transported in the world around us.
Waves in water and sound waves in air are two examples of mechanical waves.
Mechanical waves are caused by a disturbance or vibration in matter, whether solid, gas, liquid, or plasma.
Matter that waves are traveling through is called a medium.
These mechanical waves travel through a medium by causing the molecules to bump into each other, like falling dominoes transferring energy from one to the next.
Sound waves cannot travel in the vacuum of space because there is no medium to transmit these mechanical waves.
On the other hand electromagnetic waves don't require medium for its propagation.
An easy example would be light which is an EM wave reaches earth even though space has no medium.

The potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules
<h3>
What is the energy in a capacitor?</h3>
The energy stored in a capacitor is an electrostatic potential energy.
It is related to the charge(Q) and voltage (V) between the capacitor plates.
It is represented as 'U'.
<h3>
How to determine the potential difference</h3>
Formula:
Potential difference, V is the ratio of the charge to the capacitance of a capacitor.
It is calculated using:
V = Q ÷ C
Where Q = charge 5 × 10∧-5C and C = capacitance 10∧-9
Substitute the values into the equation
Potential difference, V = 5 × 10∧-5 ÷ 10∧-9 = 5 × 10∧4 volts
<h3>
How to determine the energy stored</h3>
Formula:
Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 (QV)
Where Q= charge and V = potential difference across the capacitor
Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 ( 5 × 10∧-5 × 5 × 10∧4)
= 0.5 × 25 × 10∧-1
= 0.5 × 2.5
= 1. 25 Joules
Therefore, the potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules

I think we will use the law of conservation of linear momentum;
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = 4 kg (mass of the water balloon launcher)
V1=?
M2= 0.5 kg ( mass of the balloon)
V2 = 3 m/s
Therefore; 4 V1 = 0.5 × 3
4V1= 1.5
V1= 1.5/4
= 0.375 m/s
