The speed at which objects travel through water depends on various factors such as the size and shape of the object, the density of the water, and any external forces acting on the object. Generally, objects move slower in water compared to in air due to the higher density and viscosity of water. Some objects, like fish and boats, can move relatively fast through water, while others, like rocks, may hardly move at all.
The speed at which water travels through a pipe depends on factors like the pipe diameter, pressure, and the viscosity of the water. In general, water can travel through a pipe at speeds ranging from a few feet per second to several hundred feet per second.
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium, such as air, water, or solid material, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so the speed of sound is essentially zero.
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids, and they propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium. They propagate as electromagnetic waves and can travel through empty space.
Gravitational waves travel through space at the speed of light, which is about 186,282 miles per second.
Yes, however, even air affects how fast something falls. The weight of the water is what causes buoyancy (certain materials to float), and and the resistance of water plays a small role - the weight of the water being the larger role - in what causes other materials to fall slower than they would through air. There are actually certain things that are buoyant in the air, like helium. You will notice that if you let all the air out of your lungs, you will fall down through the water at a certain (very slow) speed. That speed is your terminal velocity through water. The terminal velocity of an average sized human through the air is about 55.6 m/s (200 kph or 124 mph). This speed is obviously much higher than the speed at which something falls through water. So water does affect haw fast something falls. "But wait, certain objects appear to fall through the water at the same speed that they fall through the air!" To explain this, water affects how fast something falls - compared to how fast it falls through the air - depending on its density. The object which you're talking about, is actually falling slower through the water, you just can't tell. We see this property in air too, why do you think a pound of feathers falls much slower than a lead weight?
3400mph
3,348 mph.
Light goes incredibly fast through space, bouncing off objects.
well, I've been told that it travels through water at about 3400mph.
it travels pretty fast at about 266.5 miles per second. its pretty cool.
Fast tsunamis travel in deep water because they have long wavelengths and low amplitudes, allowing them to move quickly with minimal energy loss. The speed of a tsunami is determined by the depth of the water it is traveling through, with deeper water supporting faster wave propagation. Tsunamis are not affected by surface friction in deep water, which also contributes to their fast travel speed.
About the same speed as through water (about 3300 mph).
quite fast
Sound travels around 1,500 meters per second through water, which is about 4.3 times faster than through air.
