I've been searching old threads and can't find a clear answer...
Tbr gives the equation v= sqrt ( (Cp/CV) Pressure/density) for gases... But when answering questions about liquids or solids, it seems as though density increases speed. Why is there this difference? TBR gives the general equation v is proportional to sqrt (restoring F or KE/ molecular inertia) but where does density fit in here? Also I can't figure out if this too is just for a gas?
Thanks for your help
