The air pressure has no effect.
The static air pressure p_ and the density ρ of air (air density) are proportional at the same temperature. The ratio p_ / ρ is always constant, on a high mountain or even on sea level altitude.
That means, the ratio p_ / ρ is always constant on a high mountain, and even at "sea level". The static atmospheric pressure p_ and the density of air ρ go always together. The ratio stays constant.
When calculating the speed of sound, forget the atmospheric pressure, but look accurately at the very important temperature. The speed of sound varies with altitude (height) only because of the changing temperature there.

∙ 10y agoSpeed of sound is directly proportional to temperature. As temperature increases speed of sound increases. This is because at higher temperature, the molecules vibrate faster and hence help sound propagation .

How do you investigate the speed o f sound?
somehow, you can find out how long it takes for the sound to get to the desired area then find out the distance between them and distance divided by time is speed
What comes before a microsecond?
nano sec and before that it is plankton sec nano sec= about speed of sound plankton sec= about the speed at which the universe is expanding o-o that's pretty fast ( or faster than light travels)
Does telescopes have a short or long vowel?
It has a long O sound, and one short E sound. The first E is a short vowel, the second E is an unstressed or schwa sound, the O is a long O, and the third E is silent.
What is the speed o f light?
The Speed of light is about 300,0000 m/s (metres per second)
What tool that starts with an o measures wind speed?
This is an anemometer.
What is ough with the o sound?
Sound refers to the particular auditory effect that is produced by a given effect.
What sound effect starts with the letter o?
You can hear the sound from an owl, ocean, oboe, orchestra and organ. They begin with the letter O.
What sound is produced when the shock wave formed at the nose of an artifact traveling at supersonic speeds reaches the ground?
The sound of a sonic boom is the engine noise and vibration of the aircraft, only greatly amplified. Sound is a reverberating pressure wave that travels through air at a constant rate. Sound waves move away from the plane in all directions as it travels, but at the speed of sound these pressure waves at the nose can't get clear of the plane and so begin to 'stack' together, resulting in a much stronger wave and an extremely loud noise. O> = the plane ( ( ) ) = sound waves at rest: ( ( ( ( O> ) ) ) ) Subsonic flight: Sound in front is a higher frequency ( ( ( O> ) ) ) ) ) ) Sonic boom: Sounds can no longer escape directly in front ( ( ( O>) Supersonic flight: Plane is outrunning its own sound () ) ) )() ) ) )() ) ) )( O>

How do you measure velocity in supersonic jet?
-- Measure the distance between two points.-- Measure the time it takes the jet to fly from one point to the other one.-- The speed of the jet between the two points is(the distance between them)/(the time it takes to fly from one to the other)

Is hog a sound o sound?
The vowel sound in "hog" is a short "o" sound.
Does cold have a long or short o?
The O has a long O (oh) sound, as in bold and gold.
Does robot have a long or short vowel?
The first O has a long O sound and the second O has a short O sound.
Does note have a short a sound?
No, "note" does not have a short "a" sound. It has a long "o" sound.
Does robot have a long or short vowel sound?
The first O has a long O sound and the second O has a short O sound.
Is mouse a short o sound?
no it is a long o sound
