If a car is traveling in a vacuum does it weigh less the faster it goes?

As an object accelerates toward the speed of light it's mass (and weight) increases, at the speed of light (c) the objects mass would be infinite, making it impossible for any object to accelerate to light speed. So, "no" an object does not weigh less by moving faster in a vacuum, the faster it goes the more it weighs and the slower time goes. The change in mass and time occurs because near light speed the variable "c" is more fixed and the remaining variables (time and mass) must change to maintain balance.

Is a pitched baseball traveling faster before or after it is hit?

Can light travel without air?
Yes. In fact light traveling through air moves slower than when traveling through a vacuum. Light traveling from the Sun travels through space which is almost a vacuum. Stars are suns and light from them goes through the interstitial areas between galactic clusters which is very close to a total vacuum.
What is faster a train or a airplane?

When sound waves travel from air to water what will happen to the speed at which they are traveling?
Sound speeds up when it goes into water from air. Sound travels much faster in water than in air.
What is the reason for vacuum at distributor?
"VAcuum advance". Step on it, vacuum goes down and it advances timing for more performance/power. Idle of letting off, advance goes back to setting for economy.
Is it true the faster it goes the faster it slows down?
no!
How do you get rid of the brown stuff at the bottom of the pool that goes right though the vacuum?
Use a suction vacuum plugged into your skimmer to vacuum to waste.
