You break the sound barrier by moving at a speed that is faster than the speed that sound travels. In dry air, sound moves 768 mph which about 1 mile in 5 sec.
Light travels considerably faster.Sound travels at about 343 meters per second. Light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second.Light in vacuum travels about 876 thousand timesas fast as sound in air.If you meant to ask if light or sound travels faster then this is the answer:Light travels faster, with a speed of 300,000,000 m/s (which is equal to 300,000 km/s, or 186,282 miles per second). Sound, on the other hand, travels at a speed of 340 m/s (which is equal to 1126 ft/s).

Mach 5, 5 times faster than the speed of sound!
Mach 5, 5 times faster than the speed of sound!
Light is faster than sound.
1 sound can be loud 2 sound can be soft 3 there are many different types of sound 4 many things make sound 5 sound is made in different ways
You break the sound barrier by moving at a speed that is faster than the speed that sound travels. In dry air, sound moves 768 mph which about 1 mile in 5 sec.
Sound travels 5 times fast under water then in the air and even faster through solids. For example speed of sound in: Air = 330 m/s Water = 1500 m/s Steel = 6000 m/s
Supersonic No. The fastest ever flown was mach 3.1 by the SR-71 Blackbird
You SEE things at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) but you HEAR things at the speed of sound- about 1/5 of a mile per second. The light gets to you long before the sound.
Category 5 ( CAT5 ) cable can transmit up to 100 Mb/s
Close! Actually, Mach-1 is the speed of sound. anything above Mach-1 (Mach-(1-5)) is supersonic, all the way up to Mach-5, at which point an object is called "Hypersonic". Sometimes speeds above Mach-10 are referred to as "High-Hypersonic". So, a jet moving at Mach-1 wouldn't actually be traveling FASTER than sound, it would be traveling AS FAST as sound.

A supersonic plane is one that is flying faster than the speed of sound, or Mach 1. A hypersonic plane flies at a speed of Mach 5, so is much faster than a supersonic plane. Mach numbers are used for speeds greater than the speed of sound.
