The speed of sound is dependent on the temperature and not on the air pressure. At 20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit the speed of sound is 343 m/s or 1236.3 km/h or 1126.7 ft/s or 667.1 knots.
Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".
At room temperature (20°C, 68° F) the speed of sound is 343 meters per second, 767 miles per hour, or 0.213 miles per second.Sound waves must have matter and/or molecules to travel. Where there is no matter, such as in outer space, sound cannot travel.
At 20 degrees Celsius the sound travels in air 343.4 meters per second. That means in 1 second the sound travels 343.3 meters. In 2.912 milliseconds the sound travels 1 meter.
Well it is really dependent on the temperature of the air, but in this case we will assume the standard temperature ( 20 degrees C) it travels at 343 meters per second.
Through air, sound waves travel at 343 m/s

∙ 13y agoThe speed of sound through air varies depending on air temperature. Consider an average room temperature, it would be about 343 meters per second or about 1,125 feet per second.
You can calculate it for other temperatures with the following equation:
speed of sound in meters per second = 331.5 + (temp in celcius*0.60)

How do the speed of light and the speed of sound compare through air?
The speed of light through air at sea level is roughly881 thousand times the speed of sound.
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.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
Speed of sound through the air?
Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature in °C. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.
What is the speed of sound in air at the particular temperature?
You can calculate the speed of sound through air based on air temperature with the following equation: speed in meters per second = 331.5 + (temp in celcius*0.60)
How do the speed of light and the speed of sound compare through air?
The speed of light through air at sea level is roughly881 thousand times the speed of sound.
What happens to the speed wavelength and frequency when sound wave passes from cool air into warmer air?
the speed and wavelength increase but the frequency stays the same
How fast does sound travecl through air?
The speed of sound through dry air is 767 miles per hour.

Does speed of sound through air increase when it hits water?
No why would the speed of sound will stay the same
Seeming as the speed of sound in air speeds up if the temperature rises therefore how hot would you have to heat the air up until the speed of sound through that air is equal to the speed of light?
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
How fast through the speed of sound can a blackbird go?
A blackbird doesn't go "through the speed of sound", it moves through the air.
What is the speed of sound traveling through the air at room temperature?
In dry air, at 20°C, the speed of sound is 343 meters/second.
Why does the speed of sound depend on air tempersture?
The speed of sound through a medium depends on the density of the medium and the density of air is affected by temperature.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
Why all of a sudden is there the sound and feel of air blowing out of my vents MORE when i accelerate?
Sounds like vents are in open position where it passes through based on speed with or without fan on
Speed of sound through the air?
Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature in °C. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.
