Alexis and Logan are at a science fair, and they are curious about how fast sound travels in air. They come across a display that asks:

How fast does sound travel in air?

• 1500 m/s

• 5000 m/s

• 330 m/s

• 1000 m/s

Yassin and Alexis are discussing the speed of light during their science class. Yassin says, "I think the speed of light is 300,000 km/s." Alexis responds, "No, I believe it's 300,000,000 m/s." What is the speed of light?

• 300,000 m/s

• 300,000 km/s

• 300,000,000 m/s

• 300,000,000 km/s

Alexis and Yassin are in a science class experiment. They are asked to explain why sound travels faster in solids than in gases.

• Solids are less dense than gases.

• Solids have more space between particles.

• Particles in solids are closer together.

• Sound cannot travel through solids.
