Why does sound travel faster in solids than in liquids or gases.
They are harder.
The particles are closer together.
Solids have more energy.
Gases fill their container.
Which state of matter do sounds travel fastest in?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Plasma

A sound wave travels through air. It travels 3 400m at a speed of 340 m/s. How long does it take to get there?
102000 seconds
666 seconds
4.25 seconds
10 seconds
Amplitude affects which characteristic of sound waves?
frequency
pitch
loudness
wave speed
The variable that is changed on purpose in an experiment by a scientist, so in this case the distance.
Independent Variable
Dependent Variable
Control
Constants
This factor depends on the independent variable. It is usually the observed outcome (result) of an experiment, so in this case the time.
control
dependent variable
constants
hypothesis
If you measure time for sound to travel and and obtain similar results each time you record the results, you can say your results are which of the following?
Valid
Reproducible
Repeatable
Accurate
