The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

When a light bulb shines, it gives off light energy and energy. a. heat b. potential c. chemical d. electrical

This is a form of winter precipitation. it is frozen precipitation falling as ice pellets. snowflakes melt into raindrops as they pass through a thin layer of warmer air. the raindrops then refreeze into particles of ice when they fall into a layer of sub-freezing air near the surface of the earth. this precipitation is called a) hail. b) rain. c) sleet. d) snow.
