What else can I help you with?
Why do you hear sound of an approaching car before the car reaches us?
This is a rather general question, but the reason for this is because the car is travelling slower then the speed of sound, and so the sound of the engine and the wheels against the surface travels faster then the car itself, hence why you will hear it before the actual entity reaches you.
Why do you hear the sound of the horn of an approaching car before the car reaches us?
Thanks for the question. This phenomenon may have something to do with the fact that you may be in the approaching car's way, and they may want you to get out of the way. If the horn sounds only as the approaching car reaches you, it may be too late for anything to be done - hence most people opt for a sounding of the horn at some distance away. You hear the sound before the car reaches you because sound travels faster than the car is travelling.
How far can a rabbit hear the sound of predators approaching?
A rabbit can hear predators approaching from up to 2 miles away.
Why you see the light before you hear the sound during rocket launch?
Light travels faster than sound, so when a rocket launches, the light from the event reaches your eyes before the sound reaches your ears. This is why you see the light before you hear the sound during a rocket launch.
Why do we see distant events before we hear them?
because light waves travel faster than sound waves, you see the light a lot sooner than you hear the sound.
Who will hear the sound of an approaching boat first this diver or his friend above the water?
The friend above the water will hear the sound of an approaching boat first because sound travels faster through water than through air.
Why do you feel vibrations before you hear it?
Vibrations travel faster through a denser medium like a solid than sound waves do in air. This means that you may feel the vibrations before the sound actually reaches your ears.
Why can you feel the blast under your feet before you hear it?
because pressure waves always propagate faster through solids or liquids
Why do you often see a plane before you hear it?
Light travels much faster than sound. Light goes 186,000 miles per second. Sound travels at about 720 miles an hour. The light reaches your eye long before the sound gets there.
How we hear sounds?
By ear because sound keep on vibrating until it reaches our ear
What does sound travel through the quickest?
the denser the medium the faster the sound of speed. it is experimentally proved. for example if a train is appraching and you cant hear the sound you can hear it if you put your head (ear) on the railtrack. but do move quickly if you see the train approaching.....
Why do you hear lighting long after you see the flash?
You hear the sound, called thunder, after the flash because light travels many times faster than sound and therefore reaches you first.
