Could a magnet work on the moon?
Yes. Otherwise Astronauts would NOT be able to hear Mission Control on Earth (earphones / headphones rely on magnets to create sound waves). And yes, magnets work in a vacuum. Light is an Electromagnetic Wave and it travels through space.
Why astronauts cannot hear each other in space?
Space is vacuum, and sound can't travel in vacuum.
Why is it when 2 astronauts have their helmets touching they can hear each other why?
because the sound waves travel through the metal of the helemets.
Why can 2 astronauts on a spacewalk see each other but not hear each other without radios?
Since there is no air, the sound waves would not travel. Radio waves being electromagnetic do not rely on matter (atmosphere) to conduct them.
Why Do astronauts cannot hear each other on the moon?
Sound cannot travel through medium because it does not contain any particles to pass on the sound vibrations
What conditions must astronauts prepare for when traveling to space?
No one being able to hear them scream.
Astronauts on the Moon would not be able to hear a landslide because?
Sound waves only propagate through a medium, such as air or water. There is no air on the moon so they would not have been able to hear anything happening outside their spacesuits. They may, however, have been able to feel a landslide occurring simply due to the vibration in the ground.
Can astronauts hear each other?
As there is no air , it is difficult , but astronauts use radios.
What would the sun sound like if you could hear it?
A big explosion that never stops.
Can you hear can you hear through space suits?
Indeed! You can't hear what's going on around you, but you can hear other astronauts through their radio.
To hear astronauts in space the sounds waves are converted to?
rocket
What would happen without eardrum?
you would not be able to hear
Explosion-do you see it first and then hear it?
You FIRST see it, then you HEAR it. The time delay depends on your distance from the source of the explosion. The explanation, light travels faster than sound.
Why can you see a meteor but not hear it?
Because it generates no sound. The only time it would make a sound is if it was big enough to pass through the atmosphere, and strike the Earth. In which case, you would hear something similar to an explosion.
Would astronauts on the Moon be able to hear a rocket engine?
I hope so. However, if they see something that would be noisy on the Earth, but in space, like a rocket firing, they would not hear it in space, because sound needs a medium to travel through, like air. There is no air in space, it is mostly a vacuum. So the only sounds an astronaut should hear are his radio, his breathing and anything tapping on his helmet (the air in the helmet will transmit sound waves to his ears).
How can people hear astronauts voices from space?
The voices are transmitted via radio.
If workers in a distant stone quarry are blasting why can you feel the explosion in your feet before you hear it?
you can't hear it because it
