A few men have traveled through space faster than sound travels through water but no manned vehicle has traveled through a liquid faster than sound through that liquid.

What is the most popular sound wave question?

I recently saw an experiment which demonstrated that sound travels several times faster through water than through air. This made me wonder about something, so I thought I'd post the question here and see what would be the most popular hypothesis: Seeing as sound travels several times faster through water than air, and seeing as water is much more dense than air, what do you think would happen if we ever reach the point of technology where an object or vehicle could break the sound barrier underwater? I realize that the vehicle or object would have to be travelling at an insane speed several times faster than an object in air), but I'm more interested in the physical byproducts of breaking the sound barrier underwater; such as - would there be a barrier event underwater as there is in air? Would there be some kind of weird cavitation event associated with a sonic boom if it occurred underwater?

Which is a better conductor of sound air or metal?

sound is better traveled in air. the waves travel further because of no barriers how ever if you try and put it through metal it will get particially or completely bounced back to the source (depending on how thick the metal is!)


Could the spitfire ever exceed the speed of sound?

Drag on an airplane increases greatly the faster an airplane flies, and so you need massive amounts of power to over come the drag as you break through the sound barrier, so under its own power no a spitfire could not fly faster than the speed of sound
