Question

A student performs an experiment by ringing a bell in the air and in a pool and measuring the time it takes for a friend to hear the bell. In one or two sentences in 8th grade words, make and justify a hypothesis on which medium the friend would hear the bell the fastest.

Answer 1

I think my friend will hear the bell fastest in the pool. This is because sound travels faster in water than in air, so the sound waves from the bell will go to my friend more quickly underwater.
