What does hulium do to you?

Helium is an inert gas and is not harmful to your body. When you breathe it you are depriving your body of oxygen which is harmful. When you inhale it you increase the speed of the sound of your voice, which is why your voice sounds funny.


What is the ratio of water to the human body?

Would sound travel faster through an iron or a body of water?

Speed of sounds depends on the type of medium and temperature of the medium . As we know that sound travels fastest in solid medium than any other medium, sound would probably travel faster through an iron than the body of water. the molecules in water are farther apart while in a solid body they are very closely packed. When a sound wave hits a solid body the molecules vibrate and transfer the vibrations of the wave to the next molecule. in this way the sound wave doesn't need to travel that much a distance and can easily travel faster in a solid body. while in a liquid the molecules are farther apart and the wave has to cover a more large distance to be transmitted through the liquid. so in this way the sound has more speed through solid (iron) than liquid (water). The exact speed of sound in iron is 5130 meters per second.. Whereas, the speed of sound in water at 25 degree Celsius is 1493 meters per second. However, the speed of sound in all solids are not faster than in all liquids.


What is the ratio of the time taken to go up and come down by a body thrown vertically up?

The ratio is 1: the motion is symmetric.


What is created when an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound?

When a plane travels near to or faster than the speed of sound then the air pressure near the plane's body reduces and due to aerodynamically design the pressure change shifts towards the tail .Due to low pressure the moisture and air around there contract instantly and forms a cloud and then that air expands rapidly created a loud burst (It can Break Glass).Here is your answer, It is SONIC BOOM.

Measure of speed at mach 1?

Mach number is a ratio of the speed of a body (aircraft) to the speed of sound in the undisturbed medium through which the body is traveling. It is said that the aircraft is flying at Mach 1 if its speed is equal to the speed of sound in air (which is 332 m/s or 1195 km/hr or 717 miles/hour.) An aircraft flying at Mach 2 is flying at twice the speed of sound in air, etc.Mach 1 = Speed of SoundSpeed of Sound = 332 m/s or 1195 km/hr or 717 miles/hour or 1,125 ft/s
