faster
the speed of sound is 1100 feet per second
Take the number of feet in 2 miles (2*5,280) and divide it by the speed of sound in seconds ( 1,010 fps).
Speed of sound in air at 38 degrees Celsius is 353.7 meters per second or 1160.6 feet per second.
Thunder is sound- it travels at the speed of sound- about 1100 feet per second. Lightning is light- it travels at the speed of light- about 186,000 miles a second. The light is faster, gets there first.
faster
It depends on the aircraft's altitude. The speed of sound is decreasing as altitude increases, thus an airplane flying at the speed of sound at 1000 feet will be traveling as fast as 1200 kilometers per hour, while one flying at 30000 feet will be moving way slower, in the 800 kph range.
The bullets fired from MOST rifles travel faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is ABOUT 1126 feet per second- it varies some with temperature, air pressure, etc. Rifles usually fire a bullet with an intital speed of between 2400 and 4000 feet per second. Bullets DO slow down after leaving the gun, and can become slower than the speed of sound after traveling some distance.
the speed of sound is 1100 feet per second
Bullets vary from slight below the speed of sound, 1100 feet per second, to several times the speed of sound, perhaps 3,300 feet per second. commercial ammo runs from 600 fps to 4300 fps. slower rounds would be like a 44 special and faster like a 220 swift.
As altitude increases (to about 35,000 ft) air density, pressure and temperature all drop. As density decreases speed of sound increases, but with drop in pressure it drops; these two practically cancel each other out. As temperature drops, speed of sound drops. Thus at 15,000 ft the speed of sound is slower than at 6,000 ft so plane X is flying faster than plane Y.

1,100 feet per second
The cruising speed of an A320 is 511 mph. This marginally slower than other Airbus aircraft.
I know below 10000 feet is 250 knots.
The speed of sound at 350F is 1395 feet/second (Oven).The speed of sound at 0F is 1051 feet/second (Freezer).Sound travels faster in a hot oven than a cold freezer.
Lightning does not come after thunder. Thunder is the sound produced from lightning. The amount of time in between when you see the lightning and when you hear the thunder makes you think that the thunder comes first but it is in fact the other way around.
