yes, Even a rifle bullet may travel faster than sound, but even then, it cannot reach escape velocity. Rockets seem to have beaten the escape velocity problem.
A space missile will travel more than 11.2 km/s, which is about 10 times the speed of a bullet. +/- [Sound velocity ~ 330m/s.]
The first body to leave the Earth was the Sputnik.
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
The sound barrier
Speed of Light======================Answer #2:Many modern aircraft cruise at speeds greater than that of sound.The adjective used to describe such travel is "supersonic".
They travel much, much faster than that.
They are called ultra sonic. They travel faster than sound
No. Missiles are pretty fast but Railgun projectiles are much faster than missiles.
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
no. sound is sound so how on earth can it be faster than itself? answer that!
Sound DOES travel faster in solids than in gases. The higher the density of the medium, the faster the sound travels.
The sound barrier
planes
Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies
Sound travels faster in solids than it does in liquids. thus, sound travels faster in liquids than it does in solids
Just to give some clarity, ultrasound doesn't travel faster than sound. It simply resonates at a higher frequency than normal sound. Sound in a lighter atmosphere, or light travels faster than ultrasound.
