Is the speed of sound faster in colder temperatures?
The speed of sound slows in colder temperatures.The speed of sound is dependent on the medium it travels through. It travels faster in steel than water, faster in water than air and not at all in a vacuum.The molecules have more energy at higher temperatures so the sound waves can vibrate the air faster.
What happen to the speed of sound as it moves from water to air?
It will slow - sound moves faster in water than in air.
What vehicle is faster than sound?
Currently there are no regular vehicles that are faster than the speed of sound, although both the Concorde, and its Russian copy were faster than the speed of sound. There are plenty of military aircraft that are faster than the speed of sound. All spacecraft capable of reaching orbit are faster than the speed of sound. There have been two or three experimental vehicles, "cars", that have gone faster than the speed of sound as well.
Conconde flies faster than the speed of light?
No. The Concorde flew faster than the speed of sound. Nothing can move faster than the speed of light.
The speed of sound in what is greater than the speed of sound in water?
Speed of sound in water is faster than in air. Speed of sound in steel is c = 5930 m/s. That is faster than in air and in water. Speed of sound in water is c = 1480 m/s. It is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Speed of sound in air is c = 343 m/s at 20°C = 68°F. The speed of sound changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).
Why is the speed of sound in air faster than the speed of sound in solid?
its not
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
What is transonation?
Actually, transonic speed is not a speed faster than that of sound. Transonic speed is approx. Equal to the speed of sound, not faster.
Can a liquid create a sonic boom when it breaks the sound barrier- For example a huge drop of water travelling faster than the speed of sound?
You probably meant 'travelling faster than the speed of sound' since, according to most scientists, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. It is most unlikely that any 'drop' of water could reach the speed of sound and thus break the sound barrier, since it would be slowed by wind resistance.
How a medium affect sound?
Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.
Transonic speed is speed that is?
Faster than the speed of sound.
Why does sound move faster through stone than water?
sound moves faster though stone than water because stones particles are closer together and vibrate faster. +++ We can add that in general, the denser the material the higher the speed of sound through it.
