It depends on the substance the sound is traveling through. If the sound is traveling through air, it is usually about 800km/h. If it is traveling through water, the speed is about 4000km/h. If it is traveling through cosmos, its speed is 0km/h.

∙ 9y agoThe Speed of sound is dependent on which medium the sound is moving through. Sound travels through water at 1,484 m/s and 5,120 m/s through iron. It travels through 20 degree Celsius air at the speed of 343m/s.

What is released when waves break?
When waves break energy is released- sound or noise is an indicator of a change in energy. Also, because waves move so fast, when they fold and hit the water, the bonds between the molecules break apart to release energy.
How is sound and light different?
It is different because sound vibrates and light reflects
How are sound and light energy alike?
Sound is made out of waves and Light is made out of things called wave-particles and are kind of like waves, but not always. But if you mean Sound energy and Light energy I don't really know wat you mean with Sound energy
Type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving?
Kinetic energy is the type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving.
How is it possible for a sound wave to transmit energy but not matter?
Sound wave's transmit energy and not matter because sound travels from particle to particle transferring only energy. That is why when sound travels only the energy travels and the particles just collide with each other but stay in their positions.
How fast does sound energy moves?
330 m/s
What types of energy are released in an explosion?
Light, kinetic (movement) and sound. However sound energy comes after the light and kinetic energy, as sound and kinetic energy travel faster than sound.
Does the word fast have a long a sound?
No, fast has a short a sound
Is sound energy energy?
Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy.
Is a radio a sound energy?
A radio produces sound, and therefore sound energy. The radio waves, however, are electromagnetic energy, not sound. The function of a radio is to convert that electromagnetic energy into sound energy.
Is sound energy kinetic energy?
Yes, sound energy is kinetic energy.
Sound energy as a carrier of energy?
Yes. Sound energy is a carrier of energy.
Friction reduces efficiency because energy is lost as?
heat energy + sound energy
Sound is a form of?
sound is form of energy
What does microphone convert sound energy into?
sound energy
Which form of energy is used to produce sound?
Sound is a form of energy... There may be many energy transformations before it becomes sound energy based on the instruments used. == == == ==
When you watch a fireworks display why does the light energy reach you before the sound energy does?
Because electromagnetic waves (light, radio, etc.) travel about 875,000 times as fast as sound waves.Speed of light = approx. 300,000,000 meters per secondSpeed of sound = approx 343 meters per second.
