How does solid affects the speed of sound?

The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.


What is the value of velocity of ultrasonic sound in water?

It should be about the same as the speed of normal sound. The speed of sound varies a bit, depending on the frequency, but usually that is not much.


What is the speed of sound in space and how does it differ from the speed of sound in other mediums?

The speed of sound in space is zero because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. In other mediums, such as air or water, the speed of sound varies depending on factors like temperature and density.


What is mach2?

Mach 1 is the relative speed of sound through air. Relative because the speed of sound varies with air density. At sea level the speed of sound is about 740 miles per hour. Mach 2 is then twice the speed of sound.


In mph what is the speed of sound?

The speed of sound varies greatly, depending on the material it goes through - in some cases, by a factor of 5 or more. The speed of sound in air will depend slightly on temperature, pressure, etc., but it is about 340 meters/second. I'll leave it up to you to convert that to mph.


What does the velocity of sound vary with?

Speed of sound varies with temperature. Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.


This varies but at sea level it measures 740 miles per hour?

Speed of sound.


What is the speed of sound flying?

The speed of sound flying varies depending on the altitude, temperature, and humidity. On average, the speed of sound at cruising altitude ranges from approximately 660 to 720 miles per hour.


How fast is the speed of sound km per hour?

The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.


What is the speed of sound through titanium?

The speed of sound through titanium varies depending on factors such as temperature and crystal structure. Generally, the speed of sound in titanium ranges from approximately 3,200 to 3,900 meters per second.


Does sound travel faster than sound?

No, sound cannot travel faster than itself. Sound waves propagate at a specific speed in a given medium, such as air or water, and they cannot exceed that speed. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which it is traveling.


How fast is the speed of sound and is it possible foran object to go faster then the speed of sound?

The speed of sound varies a lot, depending on the material through which it passes, and (to a minor degree) the temperature. In air, the speed of sound is about 330 meters/second, but in solids, the speed of sound can be several times larger than that. And yes, it is possible for an object to go faster than the speed of sound. Certain jet plains do that regularly.
