A kite is stuck in a tree. You know the string attached to the kite is exactly 25 meters long. If, after pulling the string tight, you measure that the end of the string is 57 feet from the base of the tree. How many meters up in the tree is the kite?

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.
