The speed of rock varies. It commonly has none. Rock just "sits there" in one place. This is good because rock makes up mountains and such. And we need them to be still. But rocks can move under the force of gravity or be swept along by moving water or the like. And in that case speeds can vary from, say, a meter per second to dozens or hundreds of meters per second. Rocks in space can move at speeds of thousands or tens of thousands of miles per hour. What is the speed of rock? Which rock?

How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
What transmit sound the fastest?
The speed of sound depends only on the material it's traveling through, not on the source of the sound. In general, the speed is higher in more-dense media, like steel, water, and rock, then it is in less-dense media, like air.
What does high pressure do to sound?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
How fast is the sound barrier?
I guess you refer to the speed of sound. The speed of sound depends on the material sounds goes through, as well as temperature, pressure, humidity, among others. For example, the speed of sound in air is around 350 meters/second; in some other materials it can be several times as fast.
How fast is echolocation?
It is slower than half the speed of sound.
What is the fastest an earthquake can travel?
The speed of sound, it is different in different substances, but it is roughly equal to the speed of sound in rock.
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
What is the relationship between the speed of sound and its medium?
the speed of sound is equal to one machs.the speed,2 machs means that the object is travelling twice the speed of sound
Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
What transmit sound the fastest?
The speed of sound depends only on the material it's traveling through, not on the source of the sound. In general, the speed is higher in more-dense media, like steel, water, and rock, then it is in less-dense media, like air.
When was The Sound of Speed created?
The Sound of Speed was created in 1988.
What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
What is the speed of sound at NTP?
what is the speed of sound in ntp
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in other materials?
As a rule the speed of sound increases with increasing density of the medium.
