The sonic boom occurs when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound, creating a shock wave. This shock wave produces a loud noise that is heard as a boom. So, breaking the sound barrier means exceeding the speed of sound, leading to the creation of a sonic boom.
No, the pilot of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier would not hear the sonic boom because the aircraft is traveling at the same speed as the sound waves it creates. The sonic boom is heard on the ground as the aircraft passes overhead.
No, the pilot inside the plane would not typically hear the sonic boom generated by their aircraft when breaking the sound barrier. The shockwaves are behind the plane, so they wouldn't be able to hear it. They may feel some vibration or turbulence, but not the sonic boom itself.
No, the crack of a whip is not a sonic boom. The crack of a whip is the sound made by the tip of the whip breaking the sound barrier, creating a sharp noise. A sonic boom is the sound produced as an object moves faster than the speed of sound, creating a continuous shockwave.

Yes. Some vehicles such as the ThrustSSC can go faster than the speed of sound, breaking the sound barrier causing the "sonic boom."
Sonic boom.
Yes when something moves fatser than the speed of sound (or breaks the sound barrier) it makes a shock wave which unleashes an enormous amount of energy which comes in the form of a sonic boom. Hope this helps! :D
Well it creates a sonic boom.
No, breaking the sound barrier creates a sonic boom, which is a loud noise caused by the shock waves generated as an object travels faster than the speed of sound.
The sound of the crack! of a bullwhip is the tip of the whip breaking the sound barrier and creating a small sonic boom. The shockwave is perceived as the crack! of the whip. In that light, yes, the bullwhip can create a sonic boom.
I heard a huge sonic boom when the shuttle landed.
