What happens if you are travelling faster than the speed of sound?
When travelling faster than the speed of sound (supersonic speed), a sonic boom is created. This is a loud noise produced when an object passes through the air at a speed greater than the speed of sound. It can be disruptive and can lead to regulations on supersonic flight over populated areas.
Why do smaller objects make higher sounds?
Sound is created by the vibration of air. The faster the vibration, the higher the sound. Smaller objects can vibrate faster than larger objects (of the same kind) and therefore have a higher pitched sound.
Are there any man made objects that have gone faster than sound?
Yes, man-made objects like fighter jets, rockets, and bullets have gone faster than the speed of sound. These objects achieve supersonic speeds through powerful engines or propulsion systems.
Do we can travel faster or near to the speed of sound in space?
Any vehicle (such as a rocket) MUST exceed the 'speed-of-sound' in order to escape the atmosphere (actually much, much faster). The 'speed-of-sound' varies with the thickness of the medium in which it is travelling. At low altitudes (close to sea-level), sound can travel up to 880mph because the air has high density. At high altitude, where the air is 'thinner', sound travels only around 650mph. The escape velocity needed to completely escape the earth's gavitational "well" is around 25,000mph. However, if you only want to reach "space" (orbit the earth), the speed necessary is closer to 6,500mph (7 to 10 times the 'speed-of-sound'). Since we have to go faster than sound just to reach "space", obviously we can (and do) go faster while IN space. The Earth is travelling at about 35,000mph through "space", which means we are all travelling over 40 times faster than sound right now.
What is supersonic sound waves?
That's a sonic boom. Sound waves are never supersonic in themselves, objects can be supersonic ... which causes a pressure wave (which moves at "sonic" speeds) and which can be heard (firing a gun will do it).
Does sound travelling through a very dense object cause time to slow down for it?
Sound travels faster through dense objects.
How does thunder and lightning link to the travelling of sound and light?
it faster than sound

What is the term for the area of wave compressions produced by sounds from an objects moving faster than the speed of sound?
sound barrier

What is some proof to show that light travels faster than sound?
A lightning storm is an excellent example of light travelling faster then sound because of the fact that unless it is directly above you the lightning always streaks first and then you hear the thunder.
Why does sound go faster in metal than in air?
Sound travels by compression waves: transmission of sound requires particles (atoms, molecules) of the medium to be compressed and rarefied. There are more particles of material in dense objects and so sound travels faster.
Witch objects does sound travel through?
Sound can travel through most substances but the loudness depends on the substance.
What happens when the plane goes faster than the speed sound?
when the plane goes faster than the speed of sound then the plane is seen first and the sound is heard after the plane has passed away. In this case the plane is having speed more than 1 mach.
Is speed faster than sound?
A: it is an incorrect question;Speed and Sound are different and cannot be compared.speed is the ratio between distance and time (how long does it take to go how far?)sound is a compression wave travelling through a medium
