Yes, the velocity of sound is greater in water than in air because water is denser than air, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it.
The speed of sound is proportional to the density of the substance it's traveling through. Typically 'colder' water is more dense than 'hotter' water, and therefore sound would travel at a greater speed through colder water. However, there is a point right above the freezing temperature for water in which a decrease in temperature would cause a decrease in density due to the polar molecule behavior of water. Talking about the velocity of sound is a bit pointless, as it doesn't typically have a 'direction.'
The velocity of sound in water is approximately 1500 meters per second, which is about 4.4 times faster than in air. The speed of sound in water can vary depending on factors such as temperature, pressure, and salinity.
Since momentum equals mass times velocity, if the mass of the truck times its velocity is greater than the mass of the bus times the bus' velocity then the momentum of the truck will be greater than the momentum of the bus.
Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. In diamond the speed of sound is fastest. It is c = 12000 m/s.
Sound is louder in water compared to air because water is denser than air, which allows sound waves to travel more efficiently and with less energy loss. This results in sound waves being able to travel further distances and with greater intensity in water than in air.
Sound is softer in water than in a solid. This is because the density of water is thicker, which hinders the velocity of sound.
More resistance, caused by a greater density.
What's fog? Fog is caused by the condensation of water molecules in air. This leads to the increase in the density in air. So, the layman answer can be: Velocity of sound is greater in Denser materials, so during fog velocity of sound is greater. Mathematicaly: v2=Bulk modulus/density =stress/strain*density we can say stress due to sound wave normally and in fog is constant. Therefore, v2 is inversely proportional to strain*density. during fog this value is less than normal, that's why velocity of sound wave in fog is greater.
Not the speed of sound.
Supersonic means a velocity greater than that of sound. So a sound cannot be supersonic. Supersonic sound is also a musical group from Germany that plays various styles of music.

The velocity of sound in moist air is higher than in dry air because the presence of water vapor in moist air increases the density and compressibility of the air. This results in faster sound propagation as the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the medium's density.
Density of water is greater than air.
The speed of sound in water is greater than the speed of sound in air . For example, at 20 °C and 1 ATM pressure, the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, and its speed in water is 1482 m/s. In general, the speed of sound in a medium = (bulk modulus of the medium/ its density)^0.5 where the bulk modulus indicates how compressible the medium is; the greater the bulk modulus, the more incompressible the medium is. So, although water has a density much greater than that of air, water is also much more incompressible than air. When you solve for the speed of sound for both water and air using the above formula, you will find that it is greater in water.
The speed of sound is greater in stone than in water or air because sound travels faster in denser materials. Stone is more dense than water or air, allowing sound waves to propagate more quickly through its structure.
