How speed of sound of pure water compare with the speed of sound in ocean water?

In salt water that is free of air bubbles or suspended sediment, sound travels at about 1560 m/s. The speed of sound in seawater depends on pressure (hence depth), temperature (a change of 1 °C ~ 4 m/s),and empirical equations have been derived to accurately calculate sound speed from these variables. In pure water the speed of sound is less than in ocean water.


What did Isaac Newton calculate the speed of sound in air at room temperature to be?

Isaac Newton calculated the speed of sound in air at room temperature to be around 343 meters per second.


What are three factors or variables that affect the speed of sound?

Notice: The speed of sound changes with temperature and a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure). The words "sound pressure at sea level" are incorrect and misleading. The temperature indication, however, is absolutely necessary. The speed of sound in air at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) is 343 metres per second. That is 1126.547 feet per second.


Calculate speed of a vehicle using frequency and the speed of sound?

C = F1/F2 F1 - higher - frequency before vehicle pass (Hz) F2 - lower - frequency after vehicle pass* (Hz) V = - V0 * ( (1 - C) / (1 + C) ) ------------------------------------- V - speed of vehicle (m/s) V0 - speed of sound in air (m/s) ~= 343 m/s Valid only if vehicle speed is lower than the speed of sound :) * Measurement must be done in position very close to where vehicle passes by. Otherwise things become more complex.


What is the speed of sound in 30w oil?

The speed of sound in 30w oil can vary depending on factors such as temperature, pressure, and density of the oil. In general, the speed of sound in oil is slower than in air, typically ranging from around 1400 to 1800 meters per second. You would need specific measurements and properties of the 30w oil to calculate an accurate speed of sound value.

What is the sound distance formula used to calculate the distance traveled by sound waves in a given medium?

The sound distance formula, also known as the speed of sound formula, is used to calculate the distance traveled by sound waves in a given medium. It is represented as distance speed of sound x time.


Which two measurements are needed in order to calculate the speed of an object in motion?

The two measurements needed to calculate the speed of an object in motion are distance traveled and the time taken to travel that distance. Speed is calculated as distance divided by time.


How do you calculate the distance in sound waves?

The distance in sound waves can be calculated using the formula: distance = speed of sound x time. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second. By knowing the time it takes for the sound wave to travel from the source to the receiver, you can calculate the distance the sound wave has traveled.


How velocity of sound in relation with salinity and temperature and pressure?

Speed of sound in water is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Look at the link: "How fast does sound travel in water?"


What is the wavelength of sound that has a frequency of 539.8?

The wavelength of sound can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. Assuming the speed of sound is around 343 m/s, we can calculate the wavelength of sound with a frequency of 539.8 Hz to be approximately 0.636 meters.


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).


What is the acceleration for meters per second?

This is imposible to calculate. In order to find acceleration, knowlege of at least 3 of these variables must be given: initial speed, final speed, distance, and time.


At what speed does a baseball begin to make sound?

There are factors in addition to speed the cause a baseball to make sound when it is thrown. The spin on the ball also has an impact. On average the speed needed would have to be in the mid sixties at least.


What did Isaac Newton calculate the speed of sound in air at room temperature to be?

Isaac Newton calculated the speed of sound in air at room temperature to be around 343 meters per second.


What is the period of a sound wave whose wave length is 20.0 m?

You solve this as follows: 1) Decide on a number for the speed of sound. Note that the speed of sound in air is quite different to the speed of sound in water, for example. Convert this speed to meters/second, if it isn't already in meters/second. 2) Divide the speed by the wavelength, to get the frequency. 3) The period is simply the reciprocal of the frequency.
