Does a soccer ball travel farther with more or less air pressure?
It travels further with more air pressure.
Why does air travel faster in water?
As opposed to travelling in what? But if you mean sound then its because sound is - technically speaking - a vibration of the molecules. It is slower in air because the molecules are farther away from each other, and thus the molecules take much longer to interact. In water, the molecules are closer together, and therefore pass on the vibration quicker. This also relates to why water takes sound much farther as opposed to air. :)
Through which material does sound travel slowest?
sound will travel through air (gas), the slowest. Because the molecule sin the air are farther apart. Actually rubber it will travel through rubber the slowest. Air is second slowest then water and then granite was all I learned . Also Saltwater is faster then water becaus e there more salt so air goes through it faster.
Which wave cannot travel through air or water?
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
Does sound travel quicker through air or water?
through air.
Why does sound travel more slowly through air than through a solid?
Air molecules are much, much farther away from each other in air than they are in water.
Does a soccer ball travel farther with more or less air pressure?
It travels further with more air pressure.
What is mostly likely to transmit sound the best that include Water in a swimming pool Steel in a bridge Water in the ocean Air in your classroom and Wood in a cabinet?
Sound will travel farther and fastest in water, followed by steel and the air would be slowest
Would it be safer to travel by air or travel by water?
by air.

Why does sound travel through water easily?
sound travels farther in water because the water particles are closer together.
Why would a pinniped be able travel farther in water then on land?
it can breath better in the ocean

How do air travel over water?
the air flows thows thw water
Does found travel faster in air or in water?
in water
Can light waves travel better in water or air?
Since air has a lower optical density than water, light waves can travel faster in air.
Which wave cannot travel through air or water?
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
