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, make and justify a hypothesis on which medium the friend would hear the bell the fastest.(2 points)

Answer 1

I hypothesize that the friend will hear the bell fastest in the pool rather than in the air. This is because sound travels more quickly and efficiently in water due to its higher density compared to air, allowing the sound waves to propagate faster through water than through air.
