How are sound waves created and why must they be created for a person to hear sound?

Sound waves are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the surrounding air (or another medium) to compress and decompress, generating waves of pressure. These waves travel through the medium until they reach the ear, where they vibrate the eardrum and are converted into neural signals for the brain to interpret as sound. Without these vibrations and the resulting waves, there would be no mechanism for sound to exist or for a person to perceive it.


How long will it take sound waves to reach you if the source is 40 kilometers away?

Sound travels at about 330m/s in normal air. First put 40km into metres which is 40,000m. We can then rearrange the distance=speed x time equation to time=distance/speed. After this we can just substitute in the values so that time=40,000/330=121.21212 Therefore it would take 121.21 seconds (about two minutes) for sound to travel 40km.


How long would it take for NASA to reach Pluto?

Light years.


How long would it take a rocket to travel from Pluto to the sun?

On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.


How fast would you have to go to make it to Pluto in 9 years?

You would have to move at least 73000km/hr, or about 45300mph to reach Pluto in 9 years.


If a rocket left Pluto traveling 1000 mph how long would it take to reach the Sun?

450 years.


How many light years would it take to reach Pluto from the sun?

800,0000


How does sound travel through sound waves?

Sound waves are the sound. The waves cause vibrations in the objects that they collide with, and then the vibrated objects create more waves with their vibrations. An example of this would be listening to someone on the other side of a door.


How long would it take for earth to go to Pluto at 3000000000000 miles an hour?

The trip would only take 5.64 seconds to reach Pluto (about 4.7 billion miles) at that speed.
