What bullets travel faster than the speed of sound?
Almost all of them. The question is, what bullets travel SLOWER than the speed of sound? They're called "subsonic" bullets, and special operations units buy them for their silenced guns.
Does a rifle travel fast or the sound of the shot fired from it?
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.
Can a bullet travel faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, bullets travel faster than the speed of sound. That is why if someone was to shoot a target from a distance and you were standing beside the target, you would be able to see the target get hit by the bullet before you would hear the crack of the gun Some bullets travel faster than the speed of sound, but not all.
How fast is echolocation?
It is slower than half the speed of sound.
Can sound travel through ground?
hi, sound does travel through ground. the speed at which sounds travels depends on the medium. the denser the medium, the slower it travels and stiffer the medium, the faster it travels.

Does sound travel faster or slower with amplitude?
Amplitude has hardly any effect on the speed of sound.
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.
What is faster a f-117 or a bullet?
Based on a little research I just did, the F117's maximum speed is just under Mach 1 (the speed of sound). Some bullets travel much slower than that, and some travel much faster, so it just depends on which bullet you're referring to.

Is the speed of sound faster or slower than light?
Way slower. For reference, the speed of sound is about 767.3 mph and the speed of light is 671,000,000 mph.
How fast is echolocation?
It is slower than half the speed of sound.
Does light travel slower then sound?
No. It's the other way around ... sound is much slower. The numbers for each are thus: * Speed of Sound: 340.29 m/s * Speed of Light: 299,792,458 m/s Yup - light is faster ... much faster. You've never heard in the comic books "faster than the speed of light"??????

What is Subsonic Bullet?
Subsonic means "slower than the speed of sound" so a subsonic bullet is any bullet that travels slower than the speed of sound.
Is the speed of sound equal to an electromagnetic wave?
No, speed of sound in air is much slower than the speed of light in vacuum.
