∙ 12y agoIn common everyday speech, speed of sound refers to the speed of sound waves in air. However, the speed of sound varies from substance to substance. Sound travels faster in liquids and non-porous solids than it does in air. It travels about 4.3 times faster in water (1,484 m/s), and nearly 15 times as fast in iron (5,120 m/s), than in air at 20 degrees Celsius.
The simple answer is "Faster than the speed of sound"
Mach is not an absolute speed but a relative speed. The Mach value of an object is the ratio of the speed fo the object travelling through a medium to the speed of sound travelling through the same medium. Now sound travels faster in denser mediums so the speed of sound in [dense]air at sea level is greater than the speed of sound at high altitude. So Mach 2 in the air at sea level is faster than Mach 2 at high altitude. But Mach 2 under water is very much faster. However, most people are ignorant about the proper meaning of Mach and assume that it is simply related to the speed of sound at sea level at normal temperature/pressure/humidity - approximately 760 miles per hour. In that case Mach 8 would be 6080 mph.
The sound moves in a second 340 metres. That is in 3.8 seconds 1292 metres. But because there is the way down to the ocean and back to the ears of the stone dropper, the distance must be half of it. The cliff is 646 metres high.
Mach 1 is the speed of sound, which is 343 meters per second, or 343 m/s. Mach 8 is 8 times faster than the speed of sound . 8 X 343 2,744 m/s or 2.74 km/s
Sound travels faster in a medium at a higher temperature. Therefore, sound will travel faster at 88 degrees Celsius compared to 58 degrees Celsius.
58 degrees because it is closer to 69 degrees.
Depends on what they are traveling through- the denser the substance, the faster sound moves. It travels faster through water than through air. In air, the greater the air pressure, the faster it moves (denser air). The lower the temperature, faster the speed (cold air is dense). At sea level, 20 degrees Celsius, sound travels through air at 1126.547 ft/second- or about 768.095 mph

The speed of sound at 70 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 1125 feet per second (343 meters per second). This value may vary slightly depending on the specific conditions such as humidity and air pressure.
Sound travels faster in warmer temperatures. At 30 degrees Celsius, sound will travel faster than at 15 degrees Celsius. This is because sound travels faster in warmer air due to the higher average speed of air molecules.
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
well sound moves faster thruogh liquid
Because light moves substantially faster than sound.
The speed of sound increases as it moves from water to air since sound travels faster in denser mediums, such as water, compared to less dense mediums like air. This is due to the molecules in water being closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more quickly.
You hear a sonic boom
Sound moves about 768 mph (1,236 kph). But as you get higher, it get slower because the colder the air gets,the slower the sound moves. That is because cold anything is thicker than hot anything.
