Who broke the speed of sound in a jet?
We call them sonic booms. There are jets can fly faster than sound speed.
Are airplanes jets?
Yes, jets are airplanes but they are called supersonic airplanes.
Why are fighter jets so loud?
They have incredibly powerful engines. Most fighter jets are capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. An airplane traveling faster than the speed of sound will be seen before it is heard.
Have people ever traveld at the speed of sound?
Yes, often. Fighter jets go faster than sound.
What is an example of supersonic sound?
No such thing as supersonic sound. Things can move with supersonic speed (fighter jets, ends of whips) making a shock wave, but the sound arrives at your ears at the speed of sound.
What factors affect the speed of sound in a medium?
Temperature, coefficient of restitution, density are some of the factors that affect the speed of sound in a medium.
How does the pitch of a sound affect its speed?
Pitch of sound in air does not affect the speed of sound.The speed of sound in air is also not affected by atmospheric pressure.Temperature does affect the speed of sound in air.Similar statements are not true for liquids or solids. It stops being true for gasses when pressure and temperature are near the point that the gas will liquify.
Do you hear jets before you see them?
No, the speed of light ("seeing the jet") is massively faster than the speed of sound.. ("hear the jet")
Does of temperature of water affect the speed of sound?
no
What are two factors that affect sound quality?

How many miles per hour is the speed of sound on the first jet airplane?

What three properties of a medium affect the speed of a sound?
The three properties of a medium that affect the speed of sound are elasticity, density, and temperature. Answered by: Nur _ _ _ _ _ _ Izyani
