Mach 1 is the speed of sound. Mach 2 is twice the speed of sound... and so on.
The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).

∙ 14y agospeed of sound depends upon:-
1.temperature
2.molecular wieght
3.heat capacity
At a constant temperature, the ideal gas pressure has no effect on the speed of sound, because pressure and density (also proportional to pressure) have equal but opposite effects on the speed of sound, and the two contributions cancel out exactly. In a similar way, compression waves in solids depend both on compressibility and density-just as in liquids-but in gases the density contributes to the compressibility in such a way that some part of each attribute factors out, leaving only a dependence on temperature, molecular weight, and heat capacity .

Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
What is the speed of sound in gelatin?
The speed of sound in gelatin depends on the gelatin concentration but it is approx 1520 metres/second.
What is the speed of sound at 70 degrees Fahrenheit?
The answer depends on what the medium is!
If a sound seems to be getting louder which of the following is probably increasing intensity frequency wavelength or speed and sound?
The sound will get louder when the amplitude of the sound pressure increases. The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations.
Do speed of light depends on some factors as speed of sound depends on temperature?
Yes. It depends on the refractive index of the medium through which the light is travelling.
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
What is the speed of light times the speed of sound?
light . . . 3 x 108 m/s sound . . . 343 m/s light-speed x sound-speed = 102,900,000,000 meters2/second2 This quantity has no physical meaning or application.
Speed of sound depends on?
speed of sounds depend on nuthing!!
Is the speed of sound in water never changing?
The speed of sound depends on the temperature and the saltiness of water.
Why is the speed of sound is too slow of rubber?
It is depends on medium. Sound has a high speed in air.
The intensity of sound depends on what?
The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and what?
only wavelengthActually, since ultimately the pitch we hear depends on the frequency, and the frequency is equal to the speed of sound divided by the wavelength, the pitch depends on both the wavelength and the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air depends on the temperature of the air. An approximate formula for calculating the speed of sound (credit Wikipedia) is:cair = 20.0457 x sqrt( T ) m/swhere T is the kelvin temperature.
How much does water slow you down?
Depends on the quantity of water and speed of wind.
Speed of sound waves?
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium in which it travels. In air medium, speed of sound wave is approximately 330 m/s.
Explain why the speed of sound changes if the temperature of the medium changes?
The speed of sound depends upon elasticity and inertia of the medium which in turn depend upon the temperature of the medium.That's why speed of sound depends upon the temperature of the medium.
The speed of a sound wave in air depends on?
Temperature and the medium in which it is travelling
Why is the speed of sound constant despite changing frequencies?
Speed of sound in a medium depends only on the properties on the medium.
