5. A student is studying how sound travels through a solid medium by timing

the movement of sound through a

boulder when the boulder is at different

temperatures. Using the information above,

how fast will sound move through the

boulder when it reaches 20°C?

570 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of sound is a measure of how fast sound travels through a medium. The speed of sound through various media varies. Sound travels fastest through solids and slowest through gases for example air.

The temperature of a medium affects the speed of sound through that medium. The higher the temperature, the faster sound travels through the medium. This is because, as the temperature of the medium increases, the particles of the medium vibrates faster and faster, thus sound waves are able to be propagated faster through that medium.

From the information provided in the attachment, the speed of sound through the boulder increase by 2 m/s for every 5°C rise in temperature. Therefore, the speed of sound through the boulder when it reaches 20°C will be 570 m/s
