The speed of sound in air is 331.3 m/s at a temperature of 0°C.

The speed of sound changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).

Mechanical vibrations that can be interpreted as sound are able to travel through all forms of matter: gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas. The matter that supports the sound is called the medium. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

The absolute value of zero is?

Zero.Zero.Zero.Zero.


What is the speed of sound in space and how does it differ from the speed of sound in other mediums?

The speed of sound in space is zero because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. In other mediums, such as air or water, the speed of sound varies depending on factors like temperature and density.


What is the speed of sound at zero degrees Celsius?

The speed of sound at zero degrees Celsius is approximately 331.5 meters per second (m/s) in air. This speed can vary depending on factors such as humidity, pressure, and the composition of the medium through which the sound is traveling.

How fast would the speed of sound be if you could hear sound in space?

Well, we know that in any material medium, the speed of sound increases along with the density of the medium. The more dense the medium, the higher the speed of sound, and the less dense the medium, the lower the speed of sound. All of this points in the direction that as the density of the medium tends toward zero, the speed of sound in it also tends toward zero. So I guess in space, where the density of material stuff is next to zero, we would expect that the speed of sound would also be next to zero. But consider this: We know that you can't hear sound in space. Since you have already made up a pretend condition for your question, saying that you can hear sound in space, why don't you go ahead and make up a speed too; whatever pleases you.

Is the speed of molecules at absolute zero temperature becomes double?

No, the speed of molecules at absolute zero temperature is zero. This is because at absolute zero, there is no thermal energy present to cause the molecules to move.

Can sound travel through absolute zero temperature?

Yes, sound can still travel through absolute zero temperature because sound waves propagate by causing particles to vibrate, and these vibrations can still occur at very low temperatures. Sound can travel through different mediums, such as solids, liquids, and gases, regardless of the temperature.


How is Absolute temperature related to the Local Speed of Sound?

The speed of sound increases by 0.6 metres per second for a unit increase in the absolute temperature, from 331.5 metres/second at 273.15 K.

What is the equivalent estimate to the speed of sound?

The speed of sound is 331 metres per second at zero degree centigrade and at sea level (air pressure and temperature affect the speed of sound).


Who was the first person to try to reach ablolute zero?

Do you mean 'reached the concept of absolute zero'? I ask this because I was always told that you cannot reach absolute zero, because absolute zero is the the lowest temperature in the universe. It is like trying to go faster than the speed of light. It hasn't been reached, yet.
