Because the marble is steel it has more mass making it more difficult to stop. Then the question is how rough or smooth is the surface? It will certainly travel further than the customary glass marble because it has more mass.

The greater the density, the faster the wave moves. Sound (a wave) travels faster in steel than in air. Steel has the higher density.
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
Er, Does Steel (by itself) Float when placed in water? (for purposes of this discussion, lets omit masses of steel less than that required to break the water's surface tension, and formulations/constructions of steel purposefully designed to not break the surface tension, both of which are probably possible) No, ergo steel is more dense in its "usual" formulations & construction.
The speed of sound through glass is 3962 metres per second, which is about 13000 feet per second. In normal air, sound travels at a speed of 343 meters per second and in water the speed is 1,433 metres per second. Sound travels at a speed of 5,000m per second or 11,160miles per hour through steel. The speed of sound is dependant upon the medium through which it is travelling and not on the loudness or pitch. For instance, sound travels much better through water than through air.

Bacteria also can easily penetrate the porous surface of marble. Marble is also easily stained / corroded by acidic foods and drinks leaving the surface rough leading to more cleaning problems. For these reasons stainless steel is the recommended surface for commercial kitchens.
No. A little surface rust will not affect the performance of the steel.

As it is a marble slab, it could be supposed that the shape is fairly regular. So multiplying length by width will give the square area of the slab. It could be that the square area is not required, and the length and width is needed simply to fit the marble slab into a recess or is to be used as a work-surface , etc. But, either way, a steel tape measure is usually required to measure the marble slab.
Th material can be very differernt: glass, porcelain, agate, steel, marble, etc.
drop the marble in water and then see how much the water went up
Some of the floors are marble. Mostly the building is made of wood and steel.
The greater the density, the faster the wave moves. Sound (a wave) travels faster in steel than in air. Steel has the higher density.
it is steel fam
it is hollow so it will float
High Speed Steel is not a type of steel. It is a designation given to any tool that is capable of cutting into or through steel at high speed. A drill bit for example. Refer to the question "What is the difference between mild steel and high speed steel" for a more thorough answer.
