Speed of Sound

the Mach number

Yes, as air temperature increase so does the speed of sound. This is due to the individual air particles having extra kinetic energy at higher temperatures, allowing vibrations of sound waves to pass easily.

Generally, sound moves faster through a solid than through a liquid. This is because the molecules of a solid are more condensed than those of a liquid. However, sound does not move faster through all solids than through all liquids.1

No, the speed of a hummingbird's wings is not faster than the speed of sound. The average hummingbird's wing beat is around 70 times per second, which is much slower than the speed of sound at around 343 meters per second in air.

The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s at a temperature of 20°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.

Look at the link: "The Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".

It is easier to fly faster than the speed of sound at higher altitudes because the air density is lower. This results in less drag on the aircraft, allowing it to reach greater speeds more easily. Additionally, the speed of sound is lower at higher altitudes due to the decrease in temperature, giving aircraft more margin to exceed this speed.

yes, if the state of matter is heated or cooled, the distance between the molecules in that object are either spread out or pulled together; therefore, the sound waves will travel quicker through heated material, and slower through cooled material.

Around 26.2 seconds. Since the sound of thunder travels approximately 340.33 meters per second

340.33 x 5 = 1.701.65

1 mile = 1,609,34 Meters

1.701.65 x 5 = 8.508.25

1.609.34 goes into 8.508.25 5 times, and leaves the remainder 461.55

461.55 - 340.33 = 121.22

5 x 5 +1.2 = 26.2

so about 26.2 seconds

Hope this helps :)

and Please correct me if I am wrong.

The speed of the vibration changes the pitch of a sound. A higher speed of vibration creates a higher pitch, while a lower speed of vibration creates a lower pitch. The size of the vibration does not directly affect the pitch, but it can influence the volume or intensity of the sound.

In a vacuum, sound doesn't exist at all, because it needs some sort of medium through which to travel. (Light, however, can travel in a vacuum.)

In air, at 20 °C (68 °F), sound travels at 343 meters per second. The speed increases with temperature and varies if different gasses are used.

Sound travels much faster in liquids than in air (or any gas). In water, it is about 4.3 times faster than air at 20 °C.

In solids, the speed of sound depends greatly on the type of solid, though is generally faster than in air. In lead, for example, it travels at 1960 m/s, but goes 5640 m/s through glass.

Sound waves can be produced by materials such as air, water, metal, wood, and other solid objects. When these materials are disturbed or vibrating, they create compressions and rarefactions in their respective mediums, which propagate as sound waves through the air or other mediums.

Transonic speeds are when an object is moving near the speed of sound, experiencing a mix of subsonic and supersonic airflow. Subsonic speeds are when an object is moving at speeds below the speed of sound. At transonic speeds, airflow can become unpredictable, leading to effects like shock waves and buffeting.

Yes, the speed of a sound wave changes when it moves from one medium to another due to differences in the properties of the two mediums, such as density and elasticity. This change can result in phenomena like refraction or reflection of the sound wave at the boundary between the two mediums.

The woman will hear the sound almost instantly. Since the speed of sound in the rod is much faster than in air, the sound wave will travel quickly through the rod to reach her ear. The difference in speed between sound in the rod and air will not significantly affect the time it takes for her to hear the sound.

no......... the speed changes as it goes through different materials

example:

when sound goes through air it is faster then when it transfers to go through water because water is more dense and there are more particles for it to have to pass through

Close! Actually, Mach-1 is the speed of sound. anything above Mach-1 (Mach-(1-5)) is supersonic, all the way up to Mach-5, at which point an object is called "Hypersonic". Sometimes speeds above Mach-10 are referred to as "High-Hypersonic". So, a jet moving at Mach-1 wouldn't actually be traveling FASTER than sound, it would be traveling AS FAST as sound.

Obtain a bell jar with a valve at the top, place the bell jar on a smooth flat surface. connect the valve to a vacuum pump through a rigid hose. Place a manual wind up spring alarm clock under the bell jar. Seal the bottom lip of the bell jar with petroleum jelly and ensure there are no gaps between the bell jar and the surface. Note the ticking of the clock. Start the vacuum pump and observe when the internal pressure begins to drop. Stop the vacuum pump and close the valve. Listen to the clocks ticking. Re start the vacuum pump and note the pressure drop, close the valve and listen to the ticking clock. As the pressure decreases the sounds of the clock will get fainter and fainter because there is less of the material medium (Air) to transfer the sound.

What a good question, the fastest thing in the world besides light is the space shuttle. But again what a really good question.

Tachyon is believed to be faster than light and as fast as light in its lowest possible velocity.

The speed of sound in soil can vary depending on factors such as soil type, moisture content, and compaction. Generally, it ranges from 300 to 1500 meters per second.

i really dont know lol

That all depends on the frequency of the sound and its speed in whatever substance

it happens to be traveling through.

In air, the wavelength of audible frequencies ranges from about 17.1 millimeters to

about 17.1 meters.

(20-20K Hz, 343 m/s)

Because of their density, sound waves in the air travel more quickly through the solid and liquid mediums. The energy of a compression wave (such as a sound wave) must pass from atom to atom, which makes the more tightly packed atoms of non-gascious mediums more efficient in transferring sound.

You hear a BIG boom when, it comes into your hearing distance, and yes I am only 13.

You do indeed: it's called a "sonic boom" or "breaking the sound barrier". It occurs when the object accelerates through a pressure-wave built up in the air ahead of it by its motion
