Is it possible for humans to travels faster than the speed of sound?
Yes they can do that. But they need a ultrasonic plane.
How does sound travel through seawater?
the same manner that sound travels in a fluid (gas or liquid) -- longitudinal waves. Please see the related link. =========================
Is velocity of ultrasonic sound depends on density?
Yes - on density but not frequency. Sound (of any frequency) travels much more rapidly through water, for example, than through air.
How well does sound travel through water?
Sound travels through water much better than it travels through air. In air, sound travels at about 330 m/sec (metres per second). In seawater it travels at about 1,490 m/s (better 1.49km/sec). Sound also travels much further through water than it does though air. This is the way humpback whales can communicate over very long distances with their singing.
How fast does sound travel miles per second?
At 20o Celsius, at sea level, the speed of sound is approximately 767 miles per hour.
How fast are ultrasonic sound waves?
Ultrasonic sound waves travel at the same speed as lower frequency sound waves. The medium determines the speed at which a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, can travel. Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in a gas (like air), and travel faster still in solids. The speed at which a sound wave travels is generally independent of the frequency of that sound.

What type of earthquake wave travels faster?
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
If the seawater is an electricity conductor why doesnt it electricute people who are swimming in the ocean?
Sea water does not conduct its own electricity, and due to its liquid form, it can not create static electricity. Leaving lighting, or downed electricity lines to provide it with an electical current, and depending on the voltage of the current, how far it travels.
What is ultrasonic velocity?
Ultrasound is sound above the range of human hearing, Sonic(20 to 20,000Hz) Human Hearing Range Sub-Sonic(20,000Hz) Ultrasonic velocity is the speed in which sound propogates in a certain material. It depends on material density & elasticity. Velocity is constant for a given material. Ultrasound is sound above the human hearing range. Sonic(20 to 20,000Hz) human hearing range, Sub-sonic(20,000Hz). Ultrasonic velocity is the speed in which sound travels through a given material. It is affected by density and elasticity. Velocity remains constant in a given material.
If the earth crust is growing at the mid-ocean ridges why doesn't the Earth grow larger?
At the opposite end of the convection current in the Earth's mantle that creates oceanic crust at the mid-ocean ridge, are trenches, where oceanic crust is diving down into the mantle. The Atlantic Ocean is expanding. The Pacific Ocean is shrinking.
Who travels with Robert Pattinson?
He usually travels alone, but Kellan Lutz travels with him when they are filming
How do sounds travels?
Sound travels in waves.
