What is the speed of sound in air when the air temperature is 31 C?

Assuming that the air is dry (0% humidity) then the speed of sound in 31 degree air is 382.46 m/s (approximately) Here is the equation for the speed of sound in bone-dry air in degrees C 331.3+((0.606^-1)*("Temp")) in m/s


How does speed and sound react to increasing temperature?

The speed increases with the temperature. At 0 deg C it is 331 metres/second; at room temp (20 deg C) it is 346 m/s. The speed of sound increases at approx 0.6 m/s for each degree increase in temperature. This is only an approximation since the speed of sound is also affected by other factors such as pressure and humidity.


What is the maximum ambient temp and humidity in Saudi Arabia?

humidity-95% temp-53c


Why does speed of sound depend on the temperature of a medium through which sound waves travel?

Speed of sound increases with the increase in temperature of the medium .In fact the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of absolute temp. of the medium.


Large water bodies often affect weather downwind by?

They can change air temp. and humidity in the air.


Is the speed of sound directly or inversely proportional to the temp?

Neither. The relationship is not that simple.


Does mean molecular speed change as much as the temperature water heats up?

mean molecular speed varies as the square root of temp, so the temp has to change by a factor of 4 for the speed to change by a factor of two...hope I am interpreting your question properly


How close do you have to be to a bullet to hear it go through the air?

Depends on the speed of the bullet, air temp and humidity. I hsve been about 6 feet from the path of a high powered rifle bullet, and you can hear the crack caused by the bullet breaking the sound barrier.


What is the speed of sound in air at the particular temperature?

You can calculate the speed of sound through air based on air temperature with the following equation: speed in meters per second = 331.5 + (temp in celcius*0.60)


What is the difference between tropics and subtropics?

tropical climate has high temp. And high humidity where as subtrpoical has high temp. And low humidity


What happens to relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the air stays the same and temp increases?

The relative humidity will decrease.


Where is an overdrive sensor and how to change it on a 1996 plymouth breeze?

There isn't an overdrive sensor. There are pressure switches, a temp sensor, solenoids, and speed sensors.There isn't an overdrive sensor. There are pressure switches, a temp sensor, solenoids, and speed sensors.
