Does sound travel best through solids liquids or gas?
In general, sound travels fastest through solids, slightly less fast through
liquids, and slower through gases.
This is because the particles (atoms or molecules) in a solid are touching
each other and rather fixed together. That is why a solid is "solid."
In a liquid, the particles are touching each other, but they are not fastened
to each other quite so strongly as they are in a solid. Some of sound's
energy is wasted pushing the particles around because they can slide past
each other. Some of sound's energy is wasted that way and that is why it
moves slower.
In a gas, the molecules are rather far apart. For sound to travel through a
gas, the molecules must move quite a distance before they collide with other
molecules. Sound energy cannot move as quickly when the molecules are not in
contact with each other.
What can go faster then sound?
Airplanes cars motorcycles light , charged particles all exceed the speed of sound
What type of matter has weak bonds between molecules?
Examples of weak bonds are as dipole-dipole interactions, the London dispersion force, and hydrogen bonding.
What is the common idea of work?

What is the difference between test and measurement?
A test is generally qualitative. That is, you are testing for the presence or absence of some particular property.
A measurement is quantitative. This is when you are trying to determine the amount or extent of some quality. A measurement can be represented by some number.
A test light might tell you that there is voltage across two terminals.
A volt meter could give you a measurement of how much voltage there is across the terminals. For instance, 5 volts or 12 volts or 120 volts.

What is Percentage of different soils in India?
Indian soils are generally divided into four broad types. These soil types are: 1) alluvial soils; 2) regur soils; 3) red soils and 4) laterite soils.
ALLUVIAL SOILS:This is the most important and widespread category. It covers 40% of the land area. In fact the entire Northern Plains are made up of these soils. They have been brought down and deposited by three great Himalayan rivers- Sutlej, Ganga and Brahmaputra- and their tributaries. Through a narrow corridor in Rajasthan they extend into the plains of Gujarat. They are common in eastern coastal plains and in the deltas of Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri.
REGUR SOILS: These soils are black in colour and are also known as black soils. Since, they are ideal for growing cotton, they are also called cotton soils, in addition to their normal nomenclature of regur soils. These soils are most typical of the Deccan trap (Basalt) region spread over north-west Deccan plateau and are made up of lava flows. They cover the plateaus of Mahrashtra, Saurashtra, Malwa and southern Madhya Pradesh and extends eastwards in the south along the Godavari and Krishna Valleys.
RED SOILS: These soils are developed on old crystalline rocks under moderate to heavy rainfall conditions. They are deficient in phosphoric acid, organic matter and nitrogenous material. Red soils cover the eastern part of the peninsular region comprising Chhotanagpur plateau, Orissa, eastern Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, the Nilgiris and Tamil Nadu plateau. Tey extended northwards in the west along the Konkan coast of Maharashtra.
LATERITE SOILS:The laterite soils is the result of intense leaching owing to heavy tropical rains. They are found along the edge of plateau in the east covering small parts of Tamil Nadu, and Orissa and a small part of Chhotanagpur in the north and Meghalaya in the north-east.
