How can you tell if a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound?
wait for the sonic boom
Can a jet fighter fire its canons while flying faster than the speed of sound?
yes u can but if you are going fast enough you can catch up to your bullets
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
Could you run at the speed of sound?
Yes you can change the speed of sound. IF you change the medium the speed changes. IF you change the density of the medium it changes. IF you change the temperature of the medium the speed changes.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
What is a mach number in aeroplanes?
The mach number is the speed of an aircraft, expressed as a fraction of the speed of sound in the atmospheric conditions in which the aircraft is flying. An aircraft flying at mach 1 is flying at the speed of sound.
Two planes are flying at the speed of sound Plane X is flying at an altitude of 6000 feet and plane Y is flying at an altitude of 15000 feet which is flying faster?
As altitude increases (to about 35,000 ft) air density, pressure and temperature all drop. As density decreases speed of sound increases, but with drop in pressure it drops; these two practically cancel each other out. As temperature drops, speed of sound drops. Thus at 15,000 ft the speed of sound is slower than at 6,000 ft so plane X is flying faster than plane Y.
Was the concorde jet flying at twice the speed of sound?
no it was not but it was very fast
Measure of speed at mach 1?
Mach number is a ratio of the speed of a body (aircraft) to the speed of sound in the undisturbed medium through which the body is traveling. It is said that the aircraft is flying at Mach 1 if its speed is equal to the speed of sound in air (which is 332 m/s or 1195 km/hr or 717 miles/hour.) An aircraft flying at Mach 2 is flying at twice the speed of sound in air, etc.Mach 1 = Speed of SoundSpeed of Sound = 332 m/s or 1195 km/hr or 717 miles/hour or 1,125 ft/s
What is the speed of a jet plane traveling at the speed of sound?
It depends on the aircraft's altitude. The speed of sound is decreasing as altitude increases, thus an airplane flying at the speed of sound at 1000 feet will be traveling as fast as 1200 kilometers per hour, while one flying at 30000 feet will be moving way slower, in the 800 kph range.
What was Charles Yeager flying when he beat the speed of sound?
He as flying the The Bell X-1, a rocket engine-powered aircraft.
When you watch a plane flying high overhead why is it that the sound seems to come from behind the plane?
Because the speed at which you can see the plane is greater than the speed of sound.
How can you tell if a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound?
wait for the sonic boom
How do you break the speed of sound?
Sound travels at a speed of 340 M per sec. (760 mi. per hr.) so your best bet is flying a jet.
How fast is a plane going if it is flying at Mach 3?
It is flying 3 times the speed of sound. Agreed. 2,300 mph at sea level
A large bang caused by an aircraft flying at or faster than the speed of sound?
Sonic Boom
When a plane flying over us exceeds the speed of sound we hear an energy release called a sonic?
Those are ultra sonic planes. There is a sonic boom if it is traveling with sound speed.
