The speed of a gunpowder explosion would depend on the concentration of the reacting ingredients so there is no specific speed for gunpowder.

The speed of gunpowder's explosion can vary, but typically ranges from 1,900 to 7,000 meters per second (4,200 to 15,600 miles per hour) depending on the specific type and composition of the gunpowder.

Why an explosion 100 light years away can be seen?

An explosion that occurs 100 light years away can be seen on Earth because light travels at a finite speed, so it takes time for the light from the explosion to reach us. Since the speed of light is finite, any event that occurs in the universe will have a delay in when we see it on Earth, depending on its distance.


What two physics mistakes occur when you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time?

The two mistakes are that sound travels slower than light, so if you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time, the explosion actually happened some time earlier. Additionally, the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound, so the light from the explosion will reach you much sooner than the sound.

What kind of waves does the explosion produce in air?

An explosion produces shock waves in the air, which are high-pressure waves that move radially outward from the point of the explosion. These shock waves travel faster than the speed of sound and are responsible for the loud noise associated with explosions.


Which sound travel faster a bomb explosion or humming of bee?

A bomb explosion travels faster than the humming of a bee because the explosion produces a shockwave that moves at the speed of sound in the medium (air), which is much faster than the buzzing sound produced by a bee.
