Which statement correctly compares the speed of sound in solids and gases?(1 point) Responses The speed of sound is generally faster in solids than in gases, because solids are denser than gases. The speed of sound is generally faster in solids than in gases, because solids are denser than gases. The speed of sound is generally faster in solids than in gases, because solids are less dense than gases. The speed of sound is generally faster in solids than in gases, because solids are less dense than gases. The speed of sound is generally slower in solids than in gases, because solids are denser than gases. The speed of sound is generally slower in solids than in gases, because solids are denser than gases. The speed of sound is generally slower in solids than in gases, because solids are less dense than gases.
The speed of sound is generally faster in solids than in gases, because solids are more dense than gases.
The table below shows the speed of sound in water at different temperatures and salinities. Temperature (°C) Speed of Sound in Fresh Water (m/s) Speed of Sound in Sea Water (m/s) 0 1403 1449 10 1447 1490 20 1481 1522 30 1507 1546 Based on the table, which statement describes the relationship between temperature and the speed of sound in water? (1 point) Responses Sound travels slower in warmer water, both in fresh water and sea water. Sound travels slower in warmer water, both in fresh water and sea water. Sound travels faster in warmer water, both in fresh water and sea water. Sound travels faster in warmer water, both in fresh water and sea water. Sound travels slower in warmer water, but this occurs only in fresh water. Sound travels slower in warmer water, but this occurs only in fresh water. Sound travels faster in warmer water, but this occurs only in fresh water.
Sound travels faster in warmer water, both in fresh water and sea water.
The speed of sound in different media at increasing temperatures is shown in the data table below. Speed of Sound in Different Media at Increasing Temperatures Temperature (°C) 0 10 20 30 Speed of sound in freshwater (m/s) 1,403 1,447 1,481 1,507 Speed of sound in seawater (m/s) 1,449 1,490 1,522 1,546 Speed of sound in air (m/s) 331 337 343 355 Why does sound travel the slowest in air? (1 point) Responses The distance between molecules of air is greater than for molecules of water. The distance between molecules of air is greater than for molecules of water. The kinetic energy of the molecules of air is too low to transport sound waves. The kinetic energy of the molecules of air is too low to transport sound waves. The temperature of air varies more than the temperature of water. The temperature of air varies more than the temperature of water. The wind blocks the sound waves and carries them in all directions. The wind blocks the sound waves and carries them in all directions.
The distance between molecules of air is greater than for molecules of water.
