Sound DOES travel faster in solids than in gases. The higher the density of the medium, the faster the sound travels.

Where would you end up if you could travel faster than light?

If you could travel faster than light, then you could also travel to the past. This is related to the definition of simultaneity, in the Special Theory of Relativity.If you could travel faster than light, then you could also travel to the past.

Do granulated solids flow faster or slower than powdered solids through a funnel?

the granulated solids travel slower than powdered due to granulated have grains and it take time for it to travel through a funnel and it could get clumped up at the bottom of the funnel .As powdered it passes through not clumps


Sound waves travel fastest through solids?

In a nutshell. As most people could/would/should know is that matter is denser in a solid. AKA gas is less dense than solid. Sound waves travel through these gasses and solids. Sound travels like waves on water. With this effect, the matter in something such as a table is closer and denser than air. It travels faster as a result and you hear it better. Try it sometime by putting your head on a table then tapping it and taking your head off and tapping. The sound is significantly lower. This is ALSO why you cannot hear noise in space, go gas or solid for sound to go through = no sound. Sound relies on the compression and rarefaction of solids and gasses to get around. Again. Sound is like water waves. Answer by Mathew Cutshall


What mediums could sound travel?

Sound can travel through gases, liquids, and solids. It travels the fastest in solids due to the particles being closely packed, which allows sound waves to propagate more quickly. In liquids, sound travels at a medium speed, while in gases, it travels the slowest due to the greater distance between particles.


Is it scientifically possible to achieve faster than speed of light travel?

According to current scientific understanding, it is not possible to achieve faster-than-light travel. The theory of relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein, suggests that nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. While there are some theoretical concepts, such as wormholes or warp drives, that could potentially allow for faster-than-light travel, they remain speculative and have not been proven to be achievable with our current knowledge and technology.

What could be placed in a container that would not take on the shape of the container?

Gases, Liquids and solids are sometimes contrasted by the fact that liquids and gasses will take on the shape of the container that they are placed in while solids do not.

Could humans travel faster then electricity?

you wouldn't be able to no. sorry!


Is there any particle faster than light?

According to scientific theories, there is no such thing which exists in the universe faster than light. Einstein proposed the theory that if scientists could make anything which can travel faster than light that that could travel in time or in other words scientist could actually make a time machine

Second Grade sentences about solid liquid and gas?

Solids have a definite shape and volume, like a rock or a book. Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, like water or juice. Gases have no definite shape or volume and fill the space they are in, like air or helium.


Do snails travel faster uphill or downhill?

Honestly I don't have any facts to back this up. but I believe that snails travel faster downhill due to the fact that gravity is assisting them. Considering the method of which they travel ( by sliding over slime ) I would think you could move faster downhill as you would not have to push against gravity to move up.
