Would a pilot in a plane breaking the sound barrier hear a sonic boom?
no
Can a bullwhip create a sonic boom?
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.
Would the pilot of an airplane breaking the sound barrier hear a sonic boom?
No, the pilot does not hear the pressure wave that causes the boom when he is going faster than the speed of sound.
What happens when something breaks the sound barrier?
A sonic boom occurs when something breaks the sound barrier.

A sonic boom occurs when something breaks the sound barrier.
Is sonics speed real?
Yes. Some vehicles such as the ThrustSSC can go faster than the speed of sound, breaking the sound barrier causing the "sonic boom."

a sonic boom
What happens when a sound barrier is broken?
Well it creates a sonic boom.
What do you mean by BOOM?
"boom" is a description of a loud sound eg a Sonic Boom caused when an aircraft breaks the sound barrier (travels faster than the speed of sound).
What are some manmade sources for siesmic waves?
Detonation of explosives, sonic boom (a jet breaking the sound barrier), launch of the space shuttles and large rockets.
What is a sonic boom?
A sonic boom is created when you have something creating sound at a speed greater than what the sound wave can get away from the source. A jet flying at super-sonic speed will create a compression wave in front of it where the energy of its passing is 'cumulatively stored'. When this wave reaches a high enough pressure than the speed of sound in it will equal the speed of the jet and the energy will proceed to leak out. Once in 'normal' air this highly compressed wave will then expand into a wave front of ordinary sound that is greater than the sound of the jet passing by itself. A Sonic Boom is when something travels at such speed, that it breaks the sound barrier. The sound that is caused by breaking the sound barrier, is called a Sonic Boom.
Is there a sonic boom at Mach 2?
Once you break the sound barrier you produce a "boom" as long as you are above the speed of sound. Regardless of the speed.
Do you hear a sonic boom when an object breaks the sound barrier?
Yes, if you're close by
