How does solid affects the speed of sound?

The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.


What is the value of velocity of ultrasonic sound in water?

It should be about the same as the speed of normal sound. The speed of sound varies a bit, depending on the frequency, but usually that is not much.


What is mach2?

Mach 1 is the relative speed of sound through air. Relative because the speed of sound varies with air density. At sea level the speed of sound is about 740 miles per hour. Mach 2 is then twice the speed of sound.


In mph what is the speed of sound?

The speed of sound varies greatly, depending on the material it goes through - in some cases, by a factor of 5 or more. The speed of sound in air will depend slightly on temperature, pressure, etc., but it is about 340 meters/second. I'll leave it up to you to convert that to mph.


What does the velocity of sound vary with?

Speed of sound varies with temperature. Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.


This varies but at sea level it measures 740 miles per hour?

Speed of sound.


How fast is the speed of sound km per hour?

The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.


What is the speed of sound through titanium?

The speed of sound through titanium varies depending on factors such as temperature and crystal structure. Generally, the speed of sound in titanium ranges from approximately 3,200 to 3,900 meters per second.


How fast is the speed of sound and is it possible foran object to go faster then the speed of sound?

The speed of sound varies a lot, depending on the material through which it passes, and (to a minor degree) the temperature. In air, the speed of sound is about 330 meters/second, but in solids, the speed of sound can be several times larger than that. And yes, it is possible for an object to go faster than the speed of sound. Certain jet plains do that regularly.


What is the fastest speed sound can travel at?

Speed of sound travels in gases (like air), in liquids, and in solids. In air at 20 °C speed of sound travels with c = 343 m/s.


The Speed of Sound in air is?

Varies slightly, depending on air pressure, humidity, and temperature, but ABOUT 770 mph.


How fast is mach .95 in mph?

Due to mach speeds being the percentage of the speed of sound and the speed of sound changing with air density and temperature the answer varies but mach .95 at 30,000ft is 645.05 mph
