When sound is heard what structure would be the first to transmit the sound wave?
The eardrum.
What material would sound travel faster air iron or water?
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
Sequence of events that would lead to a person hearing a sound?
transduct, amplify, transmit, integrate
What would be likely to transmit sound the best Water in a swimming pool Steel in a bridge Water in the ocean Air in the classroom?
This is a homework question and Wiki will not do your work for you. Time to open the science book and start reading to answer the question.
Through which medium sound travells the most and why?
if by "most" you mean the fastest...the more dense the material the faster sound can propagate. The closer molecules are together the faster the "message" can be sent down the line. Although sound travels very fast in air, gases are not dense at all. Sound would travel faster in water than air, and faster in glass than water. I am unsure what the fastest material would be, perhaps a metal that is very dense.

What is mostly likely to transmit sound the best that include Water in a swimming pool Steel in a bridge Water in the ocean Air in your classroom and Wood in a cabinet?
Sound will travel farther and fastest in water, followed by steel and the air would be slowest
Why would you not hear if the moon blew up?
Because there is no medium to transmit the sound.
Would you be deaf on the moon?
In the absence of a medium to transmit sound waves, there would be no sound to hear. This is not the same as clinical deafness, which would be the physical inability to hear or process sounds.
Sequence of events that would lead to a person hearing a sound?
transduct, amplify, transmit, integrate
Is water a conductor water or an insulator?
It depends. Pure water do not conduct electric current; on the other hand, we consider tap and river water as a conductor because of the ions of the decomposed materials in the water. Water transmits electricity, heat, and sound very well, so it is a conductor. An insulator would not transmit electricity, heat, or sound well.

What material conducts sound the best?
The best type of material that conducts sound the best would be any solid. Only because of the sound that hit the compacted atoms and it would travel the fastest.

What sound would a drum make on the moon?
There's no atmosphere to speak of on the Moon to transmit the sound, so you might not be able to hear it at all. If you, and the drum, were in a pressurized room, then it would make the same sound it makes on the Earth.
How does science explain what sound is and how it travels?
Sound is a vibration. It can travel through anything that can vibrates, such as air, water, metal, rock, and pretty much anything that you can think of. If it can vibrate, it can theoretically transmit sound. This is why space is absolutely silent and even an explosion would be silent. Sound could exist in space if a medium such as some solid, liquid, or gas was provided
