Is Transonic speed faster than Mach 1?
By definition, Mach 1 is the speed of sound. Most of the time it is used to refer to the speed of sound in air, but it can be used to refer to the speed of sound in any fluid. Mach numbers are multiples of this speed, so Mach 0.5 is half the speed of sound while Mach 2.5 is two and half times the speed of sound. The term "transonic" refers to a condition where the speed crosses over the speed of sound - so it refers to a range of velocities of airflow exist surrounding and flowing past an air vehicle or an airfoil that are concurrently below, at, and above the speed of sound in the range of Mach 0.8 to 1.2. In this respect - at least some of the velocities must be below the speed of sound, some at the speed of sound and some faster. The correct term for speeds that are exclusively faster than Mach 1 is supersonic.
Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
Does light travel slower then sound?
No. It's the other way around ... sound is much slower. The numbers for each are thus: * Speed of Sound: 340.29 m/s * Speed of Light: 299,792,458 m/s Yup - light is faster ... much faster. You've never heard in the comic books "faster than the speed of light"??????
When was The Sound of Speed created?
The Sound of Speed was created in 1988.
What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in other materials?
As a rule the speed of sound increases with increasing density of the medium.
The sound travels at the speed of light to your ear?
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
Are farts faster than the speed of sound?
the sound travels at the speed of sound, but the gasses dont
Do speed and them have the same vowel sound?
No. "Speed" and "theme" have the same sound (long E or EE). The words "sped" and "them" have the same sound (short E).
What are airplane mach numbers?
Mach refers to the speed of sound. A plane that travels at Mach 2 means that it travels twice the speed of sound in air. The actual speed will vary a bit depending on the altitude.Mach number is a measure of relative speed. It is the speed of something relative to a medium, usually air, and divided by the speed of sound in that medium: : : is the Mach number : is the velocity of the object relative to the medium used and : is the velocity of sound in the medium Mach number is the number of times the speed of sound an object or a duct, or the fluid medium itself, move relative to each other. It is named afteran Austrian physicist Ernst Mach.
