The speed of sound is the distance travelled by a point on a sound wave per unit of time (Doshi, 2007). As people may have observed, sound travels faster in the ground than through air. This is why horseback riders can determine if there is...
Factors that affect the speed of sound
By: Jaidev Adigopula
As a physical phenomenon, sound is a waveform propagated by the collisions of particles in the medium through which it travels. It is little wonder then that the speed of sound should depend mainly on the properties of the medium itself. Some of these properties...

It is a tribute to Isaac Newton's genius that he summarized the physical principles of motion of bodies in three succinct laws, which we will elucidate here. Before we explain the actual laws themselves, it is crucial to understand the physical concept of a force...
