Experiments involve what one variable and observing the effect on another variable

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.

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3

Aspaceship starting from a resting position accelerates at a constant rate of 9.8 meters per second per second. how far will the spaceship travel if its final speed is 1 percent the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)? a. 3.1 × 106 m b. 2.94 × 108 m c. 7.8 × 1010 m d. 4.6 × 1013 m
