Nothing does. The speed of the sound wave depends only on the medium

through which it's traveling. As long as it remains in the same stuff, its speed

is constant, no matter how far it has come from its source.

What happens to a graph of time and distance as speed increases?

The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.


What happens to the stopping distance when the car speed increases?

Stopping distance also increases.


What happens to the wavellength of a sound when the frequency increases?

When the frequency of a sound increases, the wavelength decreases. This is because the speed of sound remains relatively constant, so if the frequency (number of oscillations per second) increases, the distance between each wave peak (wavelength) must decrease to maintain a constant speed.


As a vehicles speed increases what happens to stopping distance?

It increases faster than the speed increase ... approximately the square of the speed. So twice the speed results in 4 times the stopping distance.


What happens to the speed of sound if the temperature of the medium increases?

If the temperature of the medium increases, the speed of sound also increases. This is because sound travels faster in warmer air due to increased molecular motion and faster propagation of sound waves.


What happens to the speed of sound in air if the air becomes warmer?

as air become warmer velocity of sound increases


What happens to the stopping distance when a vehicle increases it's speed?

When a vehicle increases its speed, the stopping distance also increases. Stopping distance is dependent on the vehicle's speed, the reaction time of the driver, and the braking distance required to come to a stop. With higher speeds, it takes longer for the vehicle to come to a complete stop, resulting in a longer stopping distance.


If speed increases and time remains the same what happens to distance?

By increasing speed over a fixed period of time, you increase the distance you travel in that period of time. If you drive 20 mph for an hour, you go 20 miles. If you drive 30 mph for that same hour, you go 30 miles. Just like you knew you would.


What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?

Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases


What happens to the stopping distance when the vehicle speed increases?

The distance needed to stop also increases.


What happens to the amount of distance an object travels when it speeds up?

The distance will increase as the speed (absolute value of velocity) increases.


What happens when speed increases?

when speed increases, velocity changes.
