What temperature does speed travel in faster, heat or cold?

Question

I'm really stuck on this plz, some1 help me.
My project is due in about a week.

Answer 1

Logically I would say heat because the molecules of anything would be further apart then in a cold surrounding. In cold the molecules are less excited and therefore closer to a solid state causing a slow of speed.

Answer 2

Your question did not state what speed your are referring to, but I think I understand what you are asking.

I will answer with the "speed of sound." Sound travels faster in hot fluid (air or water) than in a cold fluid. The heat causes the molecules of the fluid to move faster and spread apart. This is why the air is thinner on a hot day than a cold day. In fact, airplanes need more airspeed to take off on a hot day than a hold one.

Here is a more scientific way to express the answer:

"Kinetic energy (energy of motion) moves through a hot fluid faster than a cold fluid."

Some types of energy, such as light, move at the same speed regardless of the temperature of the fluid they are passing through.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Speed of what? Light, sound, objects?
You don't have a project without answering this first.

Answer 5

think of it like this, cold=ice, if you were inside an ice you cannot move. so speed travels faster in heat. and i agree with the first guy that answered.

Answer 6

Speed is speed, independant of temperature.
Assuming you mean sound... Sound travels slower in a denser medium. Cold air is more dense than hot air, so sound will travel slower in colder air.

Answer 7

SPEED is a word. You need an object to do the traveling at A speed.

Answer 8

Same speed.
