The speed of sound is constant in solids, liquids and gases. If something happens in such a medium the mechanical energy of it can propagate only at the speed of sound. If something is traveling through the medium faster than the speed of sound then it is pumping energy into a wave that contains more energy than what the simple passage of the object contains. This is the sonic boom hear by passing jet aircraft.

Where do shock waves start?
Shock waves start at the point of a sudden change in pressure or velocity in a fluid medium, such as air or water. This abrupt change creates a ripple effect that forms a shock wave propagating away from the source.
How does the phenomenon of interference play a role in the production of bow or shock waves?
Interference occurs when two or more waves overlap and either reinforce or cancel each other out. In the case of bow or shock waves, interference can amplify the pressure fluctuations and energy of the waves, resulting in the characteristic patterns and intensities found in these types of waves. This interference phenomenon is crucial in understanding the complex dynamics of wave propagation in fluid dynamics.

What is fliud mechanics?
Fluid mechanics refer to the branch of physics that deals with fluid and other forces on them. This is sub-divided into fluid statics and fluid kinematics.
1 What important property of fluids necessitated the development of fluid mechanics as an area of science separate from standard mechanics?
Fluid's lack of rigidity contributed to scientist's creation of the area of fluid mechanics.
