Why does sound travel faster through solids than liquids or gases?
bounces of glass
Why is conduction useful?
Conduction is useful because it allows you to heat solids. FACT: Solids heat faster than liquids and gases.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
Why does the sound travel faster in solids than liquid and gases?
because molecules of solids are closer than the molecules of liquids or gases and hence compressions and rarefactions of sound waves are transferred more quickly in solids.
Sounds move faster in these media?
The media that sound moves faster in order are solids, then liquids, and then gases or air. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum because it is a vibration of molecules.
When most solids liquids and gases are heated they?
expand
Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?
Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.
Which of these does not expand liquid solid or gas?
All of them can expand - for example, when they are heated. Gases usually expand more than solids or liquids.
Do sound waves go faster in solids liquids or gases?
solids because the atoms are closer together
Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?
Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.
Why do you use liquids not solids or gases in thermometers?
because liquids can give us the right temperature but solids and gases
Why does sound travel faster through solids than liquids or gases?
bounces of glass
All solids liquids and gases are?
some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
Why is conduction useful?
Conduction is useful because it allows you to heat solids. FACT: Solids heat faster than liquids and gases.
Solids and liquids both have fixed?
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
What state of matter expands the most on heating?
Solids, liquids and gases expand when heated, liquids and gases expand much more that solids. Gases can be compressed
