Why the velocity of sound in air is very slow compared to that in water?
Sound travels faster in water than in air because water is denser and has a higher elastic modulus. This allows sound waves to propagate more efficiently through water compared to air, where the particles are less tightly packed and have less ability to transmit sound waves.
What would happen to the speed of sound at a very high altitude?
The speed of sound increases with altitude due to the decrease in air density. This means that at very high altitudes, where air density is lower, the speed of sound will be faster compared to at sea level.
Which is the slow process evaporation or boiling?
Evaporation is very slow at converting liquid to gas compared to boiling.
What does a violin sound like compared to other instruments in the family?
It has a very high pitched sound whereas instruments like the Guitar have a very low sound.
Why sound cannot travel very far?
I would say it's because sound travels relatively slow, compared to light, etc. it's only about 300m/s. It diffuses as it travels, so the vibrations spread out over a large area and the receiver gets a very vague signal that's close to nothing at all.
Is Mercury's year slow or fast?
Compared to Earth, Mercury has a very fast year. It is 88 Earth days compared to Earth's 365.25 days.
How does the rate of groundwater flow compare with that of moving ocean water or river currents?
Groundwater flow is very slow compared to currents in surface water, generally moving at less then one and one-half meters per day.
Water has a high which causes it to heat very slow?
density
Why is sound louder under water?
sound is not louder in water because of the water that is in your ears and the sound would be very faint.
Does sound travelling through a very dense object cause time to slow down for it?
Sound travels faster through dense objects.
Does eletricity flow fast or slow?
Compared to molasses, water in the olde mill stream, or traffic on the interstate highway, electric current flows very fast. Compared to the speed of light, in vacuum and in most material media, electric current flows slower.
How come when a firecracker explodes you see it before you hear it?
I assume you mean that the firecracker is some distance away. Sound is very slow compared to light. Sound travels at 300 meters per second, light travels at 300,000,000 meters per second. So you see it long before you hear it.
