Answer:
Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly.

Answer:
- Another factor that impacts sound speed is temperature.
- Heat is a type of kinetic energy, just like sound. Higher temperatures give molecules more energy, causing them to vibrate more quickly and facilitating faster sound wave propagation.
Explanation:
- Since the molecules in cooler air are closer together, sound should be more easily transmitted.
- Solids and liquids both exhibit this property, although gases act somewhat differently.
- Heat causes gases' molecules to move significantly more swiftly.
- However, the temperature of the molecules—which rises with increasing temperature—creates a medium that makes sound travel more quickly in water.
- Sound moves around 15 feet per second faster for every 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit increase in temperature, holding salinity and pressure constant.
