What do you think would happen to the sound if an object were placed in the path the sound was traveling?

I think that the sound will be aborbed by the object then come out the outher side as if you put ear phones on.It keeps the sound in as much as it can.If it is totally covered it will be MUFFLED. new ans: the object will absorb all the energy and the sound will come out muffled.

What strange things happen to the concord in faster than the sound flight?
A sonic boom occurs by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound.
The speed of an object traveling below the speed of sound is called?
subsonic
Does a sonic boom happen at other speeds greater boom at greater speeds?
no, there is only one speed where a sonic boom would occur, and that's at the speed of sound. sound travels at 343 m/s so an object traveling as less then the speed of sound would hear the noise its producing around it. as the object approaches the sound barrier, the noise being produced by the object slows down relative to object. once the object goes faster then the speed of sound, there is a sonic boom as the object pierces through the sounds waves being produced. in effect, the sound waves being produced are traveling slower then the object producing them. that's why if you watch a supersonic jet goes by you see it pass you before you hear its engines roar.
What is the explosive sound heard when a shock wave from an object traveling faster than the speed of sound reaches the ears of a person?
A sonic boom
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.
Why is air compressed when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound?
The supersonic object is hitting air molecules faster than they can get out of the way, so they pile up.
What is the strange thing that happens to the Concord in faster-than-sound flight?
A sonic boom occurs by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound.
When sound waves travel from air to water what will happen to the speed at which they are traveling?
Sound speeds up when it goes into water from air. Sound travels much faster in water than in air.
What is mach one?
Mach one is used to denote the speed of an object such as a jet plane traveling at or just above the speed of sound.
Does sound ever stop traveling If so when?
no sound never stops traveling!
Why does sound happen?
Sound only happens when there is a collision with another object or a vibration from another object, because that is what a sound is. It can only be soft, loud, strong, weak, light, pitched etc. because it was moved by other existing objects. So sound happens when objects collide or become vibrated.
If you pass an object creating a noise as you move farther away what will happen to the pitch of the sound?
It will go down (Doppler Effect) because the apparentwavelength of the sound gets greater.
