Would you expect a spaceship traveling to the moon to produce a shock wave?
Only if it exceeds the speed of sound while still in Earth's atmosphere. After that, there's no shockwave, just as none is produced by the GPS satellites, TV satellites, and the Moon, all of which move at several times the speed of sound.
Example of solid medium in which a sound can be transmitted?
Think of a solid and there's your answer. Wood, metals, glass... Imagine putting your head on a solid, ear down, which materials would best transport the sound to you if someone tapped the same solid but a metre away? Those are the the solids that best transmit sound.
Which medium would sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels fastest through a nonporous solid medium, such as steel.
What sound intensity level would you expect to be painful to most humans?
120 decibels
Which one of the following is NOT an example of a compressional wave a wave moving through a coiled spring sound traveling through the air sound traveling through water green light traveling thru air?
Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.
Which of the three states would you expect to have the largest volume?
solid
Where would you expect to find water in a solid form?
glaciers
Where would you expect to find water stored in a solid?
glaciers
How long would it take to get to mars traveling at the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is only 768mph.
What response would you expect after traveling to high altitude for two weeks?
The kidneys would secrete elevated amounts of erythropoietin.
What would you expect to find water at -25 degrees and 1 ATM on earth solid liquid gas plasma?
solid
How are sound waves generated in the sun?
I would expect any movement of matter to cause some sound.
If you planned on traveling to Death Valley National Park in July how hot would you expect it to get?
189 degrees

Why does sound travell faster under water than under ground?
Actually, sound travels slower under water than underground. Sound is a vibration in molecules that we perceive as noise. Water's molecules are rather loose compared to a solid's molecules, so it would travel slower underwater compared to traveling underground.
What color is best for covering solid black tattoos?
I would expect your exact skin color
