What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?

Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases


How does pressure affect speed of sound?

Speed: Wind (which is created by the earth's rotation) is the air being pushed by the earth's movement. Air, just like any solid, liquid, or gas, will have a velocity when in motion. that velocity will go against any velocity moving in the opposite direction. for example, if you're running in track, and you feel the wind pushing towards you, that's your velocity against the winds (usually the wind wins, or at least increases your time). Sound: Sound waves rely on molecules to move. that's why sound is impossible in space. a star can explode and nobody hears it. When, say, a police car rushes pass you with sirens, it pushes with it the air molecules into that > shape. picture this diagram. [=] >. The [=] is the car, the > is the molcules being pushed by the car, and you're the . the air molecules move towards you in that shape, and when the end of the > touches you, you finally hear the sirens. if the car is driving into wind, the wind pushes the air back <--- that way, so again, it's velocity against velocity. so if again we go back to that diagram, and the air is pushing in the opposite direction of the car, you'll hear the sirens later. sorry if my answers dont make sense.


How is the speed of sound is affected by temperature?

The speed of sound increases with increasing temperature because the molecules in the medium vibrate more rapidly and transmit the sound waves faster. This means that sound travels faster in hotter temperatures compared to colder temperatures.


Velocity of the sound is maximum in which gas?

That is a difficult question. I would say that the denser the gas, the faster the speed of sound. Since the gas occupies a lot more space, sound energy/waves are transmitted more easily. :D


What is the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 18 kHz near the high end of your hearing range?

The wavelength of a sound wave can be calculated by dividing the speed of sound in air (around 343 m/s) by the frequency of the sound wave. For a 18 kHz sound wave, the wavelength would be approximately 19.1 cm.

When mass increases what happens does momentum?

If mass increases, momentum will also increase, assuming velocity remains constant. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, so an increase in mass would lead to a proportional increase in momentum with a constant velocity.


What would cause the greatest increase in an object's kinetic energy?

Increasing the object's velocity would cause the greatest increase in its kinetic energy. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the object's velocity.


What would be the momentum of a passenger bus if its velocity were tripled?

The momentum of the bus would increase by a factor of three since momentum is directly proportional to velocity. The bus's momentum is equal to the product of its mass and velocity.


What change would most likely increase the velocity of a river?

Increasing the gradient or slope of the river bed is most likely to increase the velocity of a river. This change allows water to flow more rapidly downhill, resulting in higher velocity.


What would happen to an object's velocity if positive work was done on an object?

If positive work is done on an object, its velocity will increase. This is because work done on an object transfers energy to the object, which can result in an increase in its kinetic energy and thus its velocity.


How would the wave speed change if the temperature of the air and water were both increase equally?

If the temperature of both the air and water were increased equally, the speed of waves in water would increase because higher temperatures lead to lower density in water, resulting in faster wave propagation. In the air, the speed of sound waves would also increase as the molecules move faster with higher temperature, leading to higher sound velocity in warmer air.


When a car increases its velocity its momentum?

When something increases in velocity, its momentum would increase because momentum is equal to its mass * velocity. This means that the momentum and velocity are proportional, so twice the velocity is twice the momentum, and so on.


What does vf mean in a science equation?

final velocity. it is used in multiple equations. its opposite would be vi, initial velocity. they mean exactly what they sound like. final velocity is the last velocity something was going at in the measured time, initial would be the very first velocity at a measured time.


What factor among the following would lead to an increase in the momentum of a photon?

The factor that would lead to an increase in the momentum of a photon is an increase in its frequency.


If a ball is rolling in a straight line and you push it to the right what happends to the velocity?

The overall velocity would increase. The ball would then have a curved path with some velocity vector in the North South direction and some vector in the East West Direction


Which of the following would not increase a GDP?
