What strange thing happens to the Concorde when it goes faster than the speed of sound?
Sound waves are like ripples in a pond that radiate around the object. An aeroplane travelling at sub-sonic speed will be travelling behind the sound that it has emitted. When the aeroplane reaches the exact speed of sound, the sound it is producing will accompany it on its journey.
Can a liquid create a sonic boom when it breaks the sound barrier- For example a huge drop of water travelling faster than the speed of sound?
You probably meant 'travelling faster than the speed of sound' since, according to most scientists, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. It is most unlikely that any 'drop' of water could reach the speed of sound and thus break the sound barrier, since it would be slowed by wind resistance.
Has any one gone faster than the speed of sound?
Plenty of people have gone faster than the speed of sound by now. All astrounauts, most fighter pilots, all passengers who ever flew on the Concorde. One guy jumping from a balloon. One or two drivers of jet/rocket cars.
Is Transonic speed faster than Mach 1?
By definition, Mach 1 is the speed of sound. Most of the time it is used to refer to the speed of sound in air, but it can be used to refer to the speed of sound in any fluid. Mach numbers are multiples of this speed, so Mach 0.5 is half the speed of sound while Mach 2.5 is two and half times the speed of sound. The term "transonic" refers to a condition where the speed crosses over the speed of sound - so it refers to a range of velocities of airflow exist surrounding and flowing past an air vehicle or an airfoil that are concurrently below, at, and above the speed of sound in the range of Mach 0.8 to 1.2. In this respect - at least some of the velocities must be below the speed of sound, some at the speed of sound and some faster. The correct term for speeds that are exclusively faster than Mach 1 is supersonic.
How does sound travel in water?
The mechanical vibrations that can be interpreted as sound can travel through all forms of matter: gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas. However, sound cannot propagate through vacuum. The matter that supports the sound is called the medium. The liqid can be water. There the speed of sound is faster than in air. How does sound in air differ from sound in water? http://www.dosits.org/science/ssea/3.htm
Can any object move faster than sound?
yes, bot not faster than light
How fast do you have to go to brake the sound barier?
Any object traveling at a speed faster than sound will break the sound barrier. That is around 340 meters per second.
Which is faster a heat wave or sound wave?
Any electromagnetic wave in vacuum is about 881,000 times faster than any sound in air.
How f15 jet can go faster than sound?
Any modern jet fighter can go past the speed of sound.
What color reflects the most lights?
white ...of course.
Why the roaring sound of lion travels faster than the buzzing sound of a mosquito?
There's no evidence to indicate any difference in the speeds of those two sounds, or of any other sound.
Do sound waves travel faster in air than in any other medium?
The speed of sound depends on the density of the medium the waves are traveling through. The denser the medium the higher the speed. For example, sound travels faster through water than it does through air.

Which is faster for viberating sound travel solid or liquid or gas or vacuum?
Sounds travel faster in solid materials than any other materials.
Can the starship Enterprise travel faster than the speed of sound?
Starship Enterprise is a ficticious starship. On the other hand, any interplanetary mission we use nowadays will travel faster than the speed of sound; otherwise it wouldn't be worth much.
Are there any guns that can break the sound barrier?
Most modern guns DO fire bullets that break the sound barrier. That is, their bullets travel faster than the speed of sound when they are fired.
If an item has a greater mass than another object will it burn faster?
No. There's no relationship between mass and flammability.Any mass of tissue paper burns faster than any mass of concrete.
