When chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier he proved that it was possible to go faster than sound. Also because of him we have satellite TV. , some cellphones, computers, weather reports and more. Plus we can now go into outer space.

What does it mean when an airplane goes through the sound barrier?

Sound Waves move at an elastic speed determined by the medium it's traveling in - for air, it's dependent on the temperature and humidity of the air the sound is traveling in as to how fast sound will travel.Sound moves at different speeds in different mediums - in dry air at 68 degrees F, it travels at about 768mph.The Sound Barrier is considered that speed at which sound is traveling, or Mach 1. When a supersonic aircraft moves past the speed of sound in air, it is said to go through the sound barrier. This is denoted on the ground as a "sonic boom", very common in the 50's and 60's around America, but less so today because of noise considerations in heavily populated areas. The crack of a whip is another example of an object moving through the sound barrier - the "crack" you hear is the tip of the whip breaking the barrier as it moves faster than the sound it made.

Can you go back in time if you flew around the world in concord?

The Concord only broke the SOUND barrier, as do many aircraft still flying today, which has no effect on Time. To break a TIME barrier (in theory anyway) you have to travel faster than the speed of light.


Is this still occurring after sound barrier was broken?

You don't specify what occurrences you are asking about.All passenger jets today travel at less than the speed of sound, and most military jets also fly at less than the speed of sound.There have been passenger jets run by Russia and by Concorde that traveled at greater than the speed of sound, but none are currently operating.Whenever any jet or vehicle breaks the sound barrier a sonic boom is generated. I believe there is some military technology to reduce the boom, but it does still occur.

Does breaking up a brick of 500 uncirculated 2005 buffalo nickels affect the value?

I do not believe that breaking a brick of 2005 nickels would affect their value at all today, however, should the brick remain intact for the next 40-50 years the brick itself would be somewhat of a rarity commanding perhaps a slightly higher price so breaking it at that future time could possibly yield less than if it were to remain intact.
