Answer:

False

Explanation:

The speed of sound is quickest in mediums that have their molecules close apart.  The speed of sounds is quickest in solids, followed by liquids, and slowest in gasses.  The close the molecules are together, the quicker sound travels.  The sound would travel faster in the steel than in the air.

This is due to the fact that sound waves are compression waves.  This means that they rely on the way molecules collide with one another and act sort of like a spring.  

Fun fact: In the old days, people used to put their ears to the train tracks to see if a train is coming.  Sound moves so fast in metal that they can sense the vibrations miles before the train arrived.

Explain why the law of conservation of energy can mean that we do not have unlimited sources of energy.
oee [108]
<span>The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - it can only be converted from one form to another. It basically means that energy can't just appear, but has to be converted from existing energy; for example, the chemical energy in petrol is turned into electrical energy to power a car.Remember the total energy of universe is constant,,and no more energy can be drawn from out if we collect all universe's energy at a single point(its the big bang energy splitted during </span>
