Does sound travel faster underwater or in air?
under water because of the water
How does being under water affect your hearing?
Sound travels faster under water. Thus when you are under water you can hear sounds OK, but you are unable to discern where the sounds are coming from like you can in air. This is because you ears/brain work out direction by the time delay of sound reaching each ear (your ears are a little distance apart thus sound from one direction hits one ear before the other). Under water because sound travels faster the delay is too short for the brain to distinguish.
Why can you feel the blast under your feet before you hear it?
because pressure waves always propagate faster through solids or liquids
Does Sound travels faster through liquids and solids?
Sound travels 5 times fast under water then in the air and even faster through solids. For example speed of sound in: Air = 330 m/s Water = 1500 m/s Steel = 6000 m/s
Why do divers hear better under water?
Sound travels faster underwater, but this does not mean that divers hear better underwater. It just means that the sound is heard more quickly.
Why you could not locate the source of sound inside sea?
We locate the direction of a sound because the sound reaches one of your ears before it reaches the other. Under the sea, the speed of sound is several times faster than in the air; this will make the time difference too small - apart from the fact that it confuses our brain, if we do detect a slight difference.We locate the direction of a sound because the sound reaches one of your ears before it reaches the other.

Could the spitfire ever exceed the speed of sound?
Drag on an airplane increases greatly the faster an airplane flies, and so you need massive amounts of power to over come the drag as you break through the sound barrier, so under its own power no a spitfire could not fly faster than the speed of sound
Why does tapping under water sound differently than it is above water?
It is because sound travels differently in water, because the water distorts the sound.Er, water is has a higher density than air and conducts sound faster. Jesus!...
Can sound be heard under water?
Yes, sound can be heard underwater. The speed of sound in water is faster than in air, and it travels further due to water's denser molecular structure. Marine life and human divers use sound for communication and navigation beneath the surface.
How long does it take for sound to travel one inch?
The speed of sound varies according to the medium it is travelling in. In beryllium, for example, it can be 300 times faster than in rubber. In beryllium, sound will take just under 2 microseconds to travel an inch.
Why was the satllite invented?
the satelite was first mentioned in a science fiction book written by arthur c clarke later becoming science fact inproving communications on earth ie a person listening to a radio under big ben will hear the chimes of big ben on there radio before the sound waves travel to ground level this is due to light travelling faster than sound
