What are supersonic waves?
Supersonic waves are waves that can travel faster than normal sound waves.
Are you under water at supersonic speed?
Speed has nothing to do with where you are. You can travel at supersonic speed pretty much anywhere if you have the right vehicle.
How military aircraft travel with supersonic speed?
Massive amounts of thrust.
What name is given to planes which travel faster than sound?
Supersonic plane
How many feet per second does a bullet have to travel to be supersonic?
The dry air speed of sound is about 1125 FPS, so anything over that is considered supersonic.
Why aircraft that travel at supersonic speeds cannot be heard on the ground?
The properties of air flow at supersonic speeds is different than for subsonic speeds. So the design of the shape of the airplane and the inlets for the engines have to be different in order for it to fly at supersonic speeds.
What is supersonic sound?
It is an oxymoron, a self-contradiction, in that sound must travel at the speed of sound (which does vary by the medium or material). Supersonic means "faster than sound."You might, however, describe vibrations as being supersonic, meaning that they are traveling faster than sound would in air.
What is the difference between a supersonic jet and a normal jet aircraft?
Supersonic jets can travel faster than mach1 aprox 340.29 m/s normal jets can't achieve this speed.
How long does it take a supersonic jet to travel around the world from north pole to south pole?
8.5 hours
What speed is supersonic?
Supersonic speed is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound. An object traveling in dry air at a temperature of 68-degrees F, at sea level, reaches supersonic speed at 768-miles per hour. Since the retirement of the Concorde, there are no supersonic passenger aircraft left in service. The speed of sound decreases somewhat with altitude, due to lower temperatures found there.
What are supersonic speeds?
Supersonic speed is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound. At the beginning of 20th century, the term supersonic was used as an adjective to describe sound whose frequency is above the range of normal human hearing. Speeds greater than five times the speed of sound are often referred to as hypersonic.
Which civil airplane can travel faster than the speed of sound?
They named as ultrasonic planes. They can travel very fast.
