Why does sound travel faster in solid than in liquids and gases?

Sound speed depends on the vibration of the particles, the velocity in which the kinetic energy moves between the particles. Solids have particles that are very close to each other, so the transfer of kinetic energy will occur rapidly. In liquids and gases , however, the particles are far apart, so the transfer of kinetic energy from one particle to another will take time.

'Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas?
Through solids fastest, then liquids, then a gas.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
Through which material does sound travel faster?
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
Can a solution be a solid a gas and a liquid or is it just liquids and gases or just liquids only?
A solution can be a solid, liquid, & gas.
Do liquids expand faster when heated than solid?
no
'Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas?
Through solids fastest, then liquids, then a gas.
Why does sound travel differently in solids liquids and gasses?
Gases, liquids and solid all have different consistencies (densities). So the sound is changed

Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
Why sound travel faster in solid than gases?
i dont know i was gunna ask this!!
What canonly liquids and gases do what soilds can not?
Only liquids and gases can flow, a solid object can not flow.
What happens to solid liquids and gases when they are heated?
Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases
About speed of sounds in different media?
the speed of sound depends on the material through which it's passing. it is greater in solids than in liquids or gases because the molecules in a solid are closer togather than in a liquid or gas.Material Speed m/sAir(0°C) 330Water 1400Concrete 5000Steel 6000"compression-type" sound will travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because the solids are more difficult to compress than liquids, while liquids in turn are more difficult to compress than gases.
Why does sound travel qiuckest through a solid?
Sound is a mechanical wave. It requires a medium for propagation. Since the particles in a solid are close together, the sound energy is propagated way faster in solids rather than liquids and gases whose particles are not as close.
What Defines a Solid?
A solid has atoms which are more tightly packed and has less energy than gases or liquids so they can't move that much. Liquids and gases move faster because they have more energy which comes from heat.
Can a sound be faster than a other sound?
yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in gases e.g. faster in water than through air. The denser the solid, the faster the sound travels.
Why is conduction slower in gases than liquids and solids?
Solids are better conductors than liquids so they solid is faster than a lquid also because since it is a better conductor is molecules move faster heating the object
