How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
Does sound move through a solid slowly?
Sound moves through a solid faster than anything. In order it goes, solid, liquid, and gas. So metal is faster than water is faster than air.
Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
Because the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. Therefore, when the light from that event reaches your eyes, you see it. Then later, the sound from the event reaches your ears, and you hear it. Basically it's just because light travels faster than sound.
Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and sound?
no, not that i know of though but im sure nothing is faster than the speed of light and the speed of sound is slower than the light
What do you break when you travel faster than the speed of sound?
The sound barrier
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
The speed of sound is greater through a solid than through a gas because the molecules in a solid are?
The speed of sound is greater in solids. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed. This allows sound to move faster.
Does sound travel faster in solids than in liquids?
Yes, sound travel faster in solid than in liquid b'coz the molecules of solid are closely packed. speed of sound in steel is 5100 m/s while in water is 1450 m/s.
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 a solid is what than the speed of sound in air?
greater
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.
Does sound move through a solid slowly?
Sound moves through a solid faster than anything. In order it goes, solid, liquid, and gas. So metal is faster than water is faster than air.
Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Transonic speed is speed that is?
Faster than the speed of sound.
Which is fastest sound or light waves?
-- In vacuum, the speed of sound is zero, so you can't compare them there.-- In air at sea level, the speed of light is about 874 thousand times the speed of sound.
WHAT IS The speed of sound through solid?
The speed of sound is the fastest through a solid. You can calulate the speed by the formula distance and time. It is the fastest through a solid because the molecules are closer together than the other states of matter, so the reaction time is shorter.
