What vehicle is faster than sound?

Currently there are no regular vehicles that are faster than the speed of sound, although both the Concorde, and its Russian copy were faster than the speed of sound. There are plenty of military aircraft that are faster than the speed of sound. All spacecraft capable of reaching orbit are faster than the speed of sound. There have been two or three experimental vehicles, "cars", that have gone faster than the speed of sound as well.


Does sound travel faster or slower than light?

faster Light travels faster than sound. Light travels at 300 000 000 m/s whereas sound travels at around 340 m/s at room temperature in air. That's a 880,000x difference!


Why is breaking the sound barrier important?

Breaking the sound barrier was an important milestone because it meant that various technical challenges of flying at high speed had been mastered. The Bell X-1, like other aircraft would buffet greatly, malfunction or explode as they approached the sound barrier. The Bell X-1 was the first known aircraft able to successfully fly in level flight at Mach I which is term for the speed of sound. This achievement is considered by many to be the first step of the Space Age.


What has been proven to be true about speed?

Speed can be exoressed as a ratio


Why do sound waves travel slower than other electromagnetic waves?

Light is a series of particles that move in a tight wave, each particle generally following a straight line through air or a vacuum. Sound emanates from the source as a circular larger-frequency wave that moves air in it's path (like the wave of a pebble dropped in water). Sound is affected by the air it moves through and the size of the wave is increased the further it travels (over time/distance the sound gets lower). light is faster than sound becuase... sound takes longer to reach it's detination.

How fast is hypersonic speed?

Answer A travel with a speed which is more then the speed of sound. Answer In aerodynamics, hypersonic speeds are speeds that are highly supersonic. The term has generally been assumed to refer to speeds of Mach 5 (5 times the speed of sound) and above.


What was the first car to break the sound barrier?

To the best of my knowledge, the sound barrier has never been broken by an automobile.


When was the current land speed broken?

The current 1 mile land speed record of 763.035 set in 1997, held by ThrustSSC still stands so it has not been broken.


How has broken olympic records?

the olympic record has been broken so many times its hard to say


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.

How speed of sound of pure water compare with the speed of sound in ocean water?

In salt water that is free of air bubbles or suspended sediment, sound travels at about 1560 m/s. The speed of sound in seawater depends on pressure (hence depth), temperature (a change of 1 °C ~ 4 m/s),and empirical equations have been derived to accurately calculate sound speed from these variables. In pure water the speed of sound is less than in ocean water.


How fast can a fighter plane go?

Different fighter planes have different capabilities, but somewhere between Mach 1 (the speed of sound) and Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) has been the general norm for fighter planes in the last five decades. Fighter-bombers are capable of supersonic speeds above Mach 1, but fighter-interceptors can do about Mach 2.5.


What is faster the speed of lightning or the speed of sound?

Lightning travels approximately at 60,000 miles a second (96,560 kps), while sound travels at a pokey one-fifth of a mile per second (20 kps). I think you might have actually been referring to light, not lightning, which travels at 186,411 miles per second (300,000 kps). In other words, light travels almost a million times faster than sound.

Is sonic the hedgehog really faster than the speed of sound?

He can't normally but when he's supersonic he can.


Why does your 95 metro idle at redline?

Because something is broken, or your idle speed has been set WAY to high. Try to fix this soon.
