Why does sound travel faster in a soild?
Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies
Do we can travel faster or near to the speed of sound in space?
Any vehicle (such as a rocket) MUST exceed the 'speed-of-sound' in order to escape the atmosphere (actually much, much faster). The 'speed-of-sound' varies with the thickness of the medium in which it is travelling. At low altitudes (close to sea-level), sound can travel up to 880mph because the air has high density. At high altitude, where the air is 'thinner', sound travels only around 650mph. The escape velocity needed to completely escape the earth's gavitational "well" is around 25,000mph. However, if you only want to reach "space" (orbit the earth), the speed necessary is closer to 6,500mph (7 to 10 times the 'speed-of-sound'). Since we have to go faster than sound just to reach "space", obviously we can (and do) go faster while IN space. The Earth is travelling at about 35,000mph through "space", which means we are all travelling over 40 times faster than sound right now.
What does high pressure do to sound?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
Does a low mass object travel faster than a high mass object?
There's no connection. A truck can travel either faster OR slower than a turtle.
Do sound waves travel in high pressure?
Yes, the travel in all sorts of pressures. The speed of sound is not greatly affected by pressure in an ideal gas.
How does air tempurature affect the speed of sound?
Sound waves travel through particle vibration, and when the temperature is high, the particles vibrate faster, thus the sound must travel faster with particles.
When the temperature is higher does sound travel faster or slower?
as in summers the particles are far apart from each other so we can say that in low temperature sound moves faster because it needs a material medium to travel. as in winters that is low temperature their are a lot of particles in air so this helps the sound to propagate and takes less time to travel. n in summers that is high temp. the particles are apart so it takes more time to travel.
Where do sound waves travel at their fastest?
Sound travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. Sound travels faster in water than in the air but in solids it travels about eight times faster. Sound travels at the fastest speed in steel. In solids it travel faster in a hot surface, the particles move faster if the solid is cold its slower the movement.
Why does sound travel faster in a soild?
Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies
Why does sound travel faster in solid than in air?
It is according to the nature. Generally sound travels with high speeds in metals.
Does sound travel more slowly through a given medium with a low temperature or high temperature?
Sound travels more slowly through a medium when it is at a low temperature because in a low temperature the molecules move slower and in a high temperature the molecules move faster. For Example: ice that is frozen and boiled water in ice the water doesn't move as fast so the molecules were slower than in the boiled water. HOPE I HELPED YOU!!
Is diffusion faster on heating?
Yes, diffusion is faster at high temperature.
What tree properties of a medium affect the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is affected by 3 properties: Elasticity and Density of the medium through which the sound waves travel, and the temperature of the medium. Media with higher elasticity, like iron, for instance, transmit sound faster. (Elasticity is the ability of a substance to return to its original shape after being deformed by a force applied to it. Rubber has high elasticity, too.)
Does air at high pressure transmit sound faster than air at low pressure?
No. The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).
Why does sound travel faster at the bottom of a mountain than it does at the top?
Speed of sound in air is dependent on the air pressure, and air pressure is dependent on height above sea level. Up high, pressure is lower and speed of sound is different.
Do molecule diffuse faster in areas of high temperature?
Yes they do.
What is the difference for high and low pitch?
High pitched sounds move at the same speed as low pitched sounds. The speed of sound is instead determined by such factors as the density of air. Higher density makes sound travel faster. This is because sound is a wave fenomenon that requires the molecules in the air to collide in a wave-like manner, and in air with higher density there are more molecules per volume, and so the collisions happens more often, and the sound-wave can travel faster.
