How fast is sound energy?
It depends on the substance the sound is traveling through. If the sound is traveling through air, it is usually about 800km/h. If it is traveling through water, the speed is about 4000km/h. If it is traveling through cosmos, its speed is 0km/h.
How fast can sound travel through wood?
6x 10^10
What material does sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
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.
At which temperature in water does sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels faster as temperature increases, so there is no limit. There is an equation to determine the speed of sound at a given temperature.
Why does sound travel at different speeds?
The speed of sound depends on the medium through which the sound travels.
When sound waves travel from air to water what will happen to the speed at wich they are moving?
i think the speed will increase.
At what speed does sound travel at?
Depends on which substance it's traveling through. Speed of sound in air at sea level is about 343 meters/second. This is the right answer it was just out by 3m/s
What travels faster airplanes or speed of sound?
The speed of sound does not travel. In the event that an airplane's airspeed is below Mach-1, the speed of sound is faster than the speed of the airplane. On the occasion and at the moment when the true indicated airspeed of an airship or an airplane is in excess of Mach-1, the airplane is at that time traveling faster than the speed of sound.
Does sound travels faster downwind than upwind?
Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
How long would it take to get to mars traveling at the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is only 768mph.
What strange things happen to the concord in faster than the sound flight?
A sonic boom occurs by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound.
The speed of an object traveling below the speed of sound is called?
subsonic
What would happen if the diaphragm of a speaker exceeded the sound barrier?
Exceeding the sound barrier refers to speed of travel, not loudness of sound. A speaker cannot "exceed the sound barrier".
The speed of sound traveling thruogh steel is much more than the speed traveling through air?
False
Why traveling at the speed of light would we disperse?
No such thing would happen. Matter cannot reach the speed of light, only massless things can (and they cannot travel at any other speed than the speed of light).
How long does it take to travel 557 miles?
It depends on how fast you are going. If you happen to be traveling at a speed of 557mp/h then it will take you one hour.
