I was watching an XKCD “What-If” video recently and Randal off-handedly mentions the title fact as a given. Upon a further Google search I see explanations about why sound moves faster in liquids than gasses but nothing for my specific question. Is there an intuitive explanation for that fact or is it just one of those weird observable facts with no clear explanation
All you did was define the speed of sound and then state:
“The speed of sound in a liquid medium is defined by the speed at which energy can propagate in that system, which includes motion”
Which is just a reiteration of what the speed of sound is and then an incorrect correlation to motion.
You didn’t describe what flow is, how it relates to the speed of sound, or and why flow stops at high flow rates. Your comment doesn’t answer the question and it’s worse than a nothing burger because it contains misinformation.
