ANSWER
Q1.approximately 344 m/sec
The speed of sound varies depending on the type of elastic medium it is propogated in. The speed of sound in dry air at a temperature of 0 degree C is approximately 344 m/sec (1130 ft/sec).
Q2.Sound travels faster in water than in air. The speed of sound in air under typical conditions is about 343 meters per second, while the speed of sound in water is about 1,480 meters per second.
Q3.Of the three phases of matter (gas, liquid, and solid), sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids
