What else can I help you with?
Can you hear an explosion in space?
No, sound cannot travel in the vacuum of space, so explosions cannot be heard in space.
What two physics mistakes occur when you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time?
The two mistakes are that sound travels slower than light, so if you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time, the explosion actually happened some time earlier. Additionally, the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound, so the light from the explosion will reach you much sooner than the sound.
Why can't we hear nuclear explosions?
Nuclear explosions produce a shock wave that moves faster than sound, so the initial blast is typically heard after the explosion has occurred. Additionally, the energy released during a nuclear explosion is so intense that it can damage the eardrums of anyone within range before they have a chance to perceive the sound.
Why we cannot hear a sound when we bat our eyelashes?
Batting our eyelashes does not produce enough force or movement to create sound waves that can travel through the air and be perceived by our ears. Sound is created when an object vibrates and causes air molecules to move, which our ears can detect. Eyelash movements are too gentle to create these vibrations and hence do not produce any sound.
If workers in a distant stone quarry are blasting why can you feel the explosion in your feet before you hear it?
The reason you feel the explosion in your feet before you hear it is due to the difference in the speed of sound through different mediums. The shockwave travels faster through solid material (like the ground) than through the air, so you sense the vibrations in the ground before you hear the sound through the air.
Can you hear an explosion in space?
No, sound cannot travel in the vacuum of space, so explosions cannot be heard in space.
Is it possible to hear an explosion in outer space?
No, sound cannot travel in the vacuum of outer space because it requires a medium, such as air, to propagate. Explosions in space can still release energy in the form of light and radiation, but they would not produce any sound.
Would astronauts be able to hear an explosion on the moon?
No, astronauts would not be able to hear an explosion on the moon because there is no atmosphere to transmit sound waves. Sound requires a medium like air to travel through, and since the moon is airless, there would be no way for sound to propagate and reach the astronauts' ears.
If there is an explosion some where but no one can hear it is there a sound?
In my opinon: Yes.For me sound is irrespective of listener.
How do you produce and hear a sound?
If you bang your fist on the table, there is a big 'thump'. This 'thump' is the noise you produced, and you can hear that 'thump'. Therefore, you can produce and hear a sound.
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.
If a satellite or spaceship explodes in outer space you can see the explosion from a distance but why can you not hear it?
Light travels in vacuum but sound cannot. So, we can see solar flares but can't hear them. (Outer space can be considered to be vacuum)
Can you hear the sound of corn growing in the fields?
No, you cannot hear the sound of corn growing in the fields.
What would the sun sound like if you could hear it?
A big explosion that never stops.
Why we can not hear the explosion of sun?
We cannot hear the explosion of the sun because sound requires a medium, like air or water, to travel through, and space is a vacuum devoid of such a medium. The intense energy released by solar explosions, like solar flares, produces electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, which can travel through space, but not sound waves. Therefore, while we can observe the effects of solar activity through light and other electromagnetic signals, we cannot hear any associated sounds.
Why can nuclear explosions on the sun not be heard on earth?
Sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so we cannot hear nuclear explosions on the sun from Earth. Sound requires a medium to travel through, like air, and space is empty. Additionally, the sun's explosions produce vibrations in the form of electromagnetic waves, which we can detect but not hear as sound.
What two physics mistakes occur when you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time?
The two mistakes are that sound travels slower than light, so if you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time, the explosion actually happened some time earlier. Additionally, the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound, so the light from the explosion will reach you much sooner than the sound.
