Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?

Sonar is sound waves bounced off a object so if you are going the speed of sound the waves cannot bounce off the object and determine the speed of the object

Could you detect an object travelling in excess of the speed of light.?
Probably not. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light.
An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force is it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity?
what a stupid qn. ya it is possible
Did Albert Einstein say it was possible to go to the speed of light?
No, Albert Einstein suggested the idea of travelling at the speed of light and what would occur to physical properties, which lead him to special and general relativity. However, he never said it was possible to do so. Quite the opposite actually, he discovered that as an object travels faster and faster through space, it requires more and more energy to go even faster, to the point that if an object were to travel onward to the speed of light, it would require all of the energy in the universe to push it to that speed. It's also known as relativistic mass.
What information about a mineral or rock is needed to determine its density?
To determine the density of an object, you need its mass and volume. If the object is oddly shaped, you can determine its volume by measuring the volume of water displaced when thee object is submerged in a container of water.
What an object is made of and the color of light that strikes it determine the?
The apparent color of the object.
How would you determine if an object is accelerating?
It moves faster or slower
What is the wavelength of a 300 gram object moving at a velocity of about 100 mph?
The mass and velocity of an object do not determine its wavelength: it could be travelling in a straight line!
Could you detect an object travelling in excess of the speed of light.?
Probably not. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light.
If you were travelling faster than light could you still see an object in front of you?
You cannot travel at the speed of light. Period.

Does sound travelling through a very dense object cause time to slow down for it?
Sound travels faster through dense objects.
How do you determine velocity time and height using quadratics?
The answers will depend on whether you are trying to determine these for a projectile or a ballistic object, whether it is travelling in a straight line (up-down) or a trajectory and what simplifying assumptions (for example, air resistance = 0) you make.The answers will depend on whether you are trying to determine these for a projectile or a ballistic object, whether it is travelling in a straight line (up-down) or a trajectory and what simplifying assumptions (for example, air resistance = 0) you make.The answers will depend on whether you are trying to determine these for a projectile or a ballistic object, whether it is travelling in a straight line (up-down) or a trajectory and what simplifying assumptions (for example, air resistance = 0) you make.The answers will depend on whether you are trying to determine these for a projectile or a ballistic object, whether it is travelling in a straight line (up-down) or a trajectory and what simplifying assumptions (for example, air resistance = 0) you make.
What is Mach 1 and 2?
The Mach number of an object travelling through a fluid is its speed relative to the speed of sound travelling through the same medium. So an aircraft flying at Mach 1 at sea level would be travelling faster than an aircraft flying at Mach 1 at a high altitude (where the air is thinner and sound travels slower). An object travelling at Mach 2 is travelling twice as fast as an object travelling through the same fluid under the same conditions (temperature and pressure). BUT In common usage, Mach 1 is the speed of sound in air, at sea level and 20 deg C.
True or False can you determine the bouyant force on an object if you know the weight of that object?
If you were to say that it's possible, we would say that your statement is false.
How does a plane make any ground when flying against the movement of the earth when the earth spins faster than a plane can fly?
The plane and every object on Earth is moving relative to the the planet, we just don't notice. When the plane is travelling against the motion of the Earth's spin, it seems like it is travelling forwards, but from space it can be seen that it is travelling backwards.
What is density relay?
To determine the density of an object in the shortest time possible while traveling through an obstacle course
What is the final answer if the net forc on an object is zero?
then the object is either stopped or travelling at constant speed.
