appearance as argument number 1

(instance speedOfSound TernaryPredicate) Transportation.kif 5098-5098 speed of sound is an instance of ternary predicate
(domain speedOfSound 1 FunctionQuantity) Transportation.kif 5099-5099 The number 1 argument of speed of sound is an instance of function quantity
(domain speedOfSound 2 Region) Transportation.kif 5100-5100 The number 2 argument of speed of sound is an instance of region
(domain speedOfSound 3 TimePosition) Transportation.kif 5101-5101 The number 3 argument of speed of sound is an instance of time position
(documentation speedOfSound EnglishLanguage "(speedOfSound ?Q ?R ?S) means that the speedOfSound for Region ?R with a PhysicalState of ?S is the distance travelled per unit of time in Q.In colloquial speech, speed of sound refers to the speed of sound waves in air. The speed of sound varies from substance to substance, however: typically, sound travels most slowly in gases, faster in liquids, and fastest in solids. For example, at 20°C while sound travels at 343 m/ s in air, it travels in fresh water at 1481 m/ s and at 5120 m/ s in iron.In the Earth's atmosphere, the chief factor affecting the speed of sound is the temperature. In the standard atmosphere (1 atm): 0°C gives a theoretical value of 331.3 m/ s; 20°C gives a value of 343.2 m/ s; 25°C gives a value of 346.1 m/ s.
