Why is conduction useful?
Conduction is useful because it allows you to heat solids. FACT: Solids heat faster than liquids and gases.
Why do solids heat up faster than liquids or gases?
Since most of the time we are concerned with heat being transferred via conduction, the denser the material, the easier it is to conduct heat. Except for the rare anomaly (think ice vs liquid water) solids are denser than their corresponding liquid forms. All that is a gross simplification of course. Many liquids heat quite a bit better than solids and convection (which can occur in liquids but not solids) can greatly aid in the speed of "heating up", so the generalization that solids heat up faster than liquids is only a tendency rather than a rule.
Which medium does sound travel fastest in?
Sound travels faster in solids than it does in liquids. thus, sound travels faster in liquids than it does in solids
Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?
Yes, and faster through solids than liquids.
Why does sound travel faster through solids than liquids or gases?
bounces of glass
do solids freeze faster than liquids?
yes solids freeze faster than liquids

Why do solids heat up faster than liquids?
Solids are more compact than liquids. The particles of a solid are closer together. Since heat is the kinetic force between particles, the closer those particles are the easier it is to excite them.

Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?
Yes, and faster through solids than liquids.
What in solids move faster than in liquids?
Sound will usually move faster in a solid than in a liquid.
What gets hotter a bucket of water a empty bucket?
The bucket full of water because liquids heat up faster than solids.
Why is conduction slower in gases than liquids and solids?
Solids are better conductors than liquids so they solid is faster than a lquid also because since it is a better conductor is molecules move faster heating the object
Why are gases heat insulator?
Because they conduct heat less efficiently than do liquids or solids.
Do Solids usually conduct heat better then liquids and gases?
Solids do conduct heat better than gases, although not necessarily better than liquids. Some solids are actually composite materials, because they can have a porous structure which contains gas within the solid, and this results in solids that do not conduct heat very well. But it is the gas component which has this insulating property.
