The speed of sound changes only with temperature. The altitude and the atmospheric pressure has no influence. Usually the temperature goes down with higher altitude. Notice: The speed of sound changes with temperature and
a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).
The words "sound pressure at sea level" are incorrect and misleading.
The temperature indication, however, is absolutely necessary. The speed of sound in air at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) is 343 metres per second. That is 1126.547 feet per second.

Mach"s constant- 760 MPH at ground- sea level. this decreases with altitude- the Famous French Fighter, the Mirage III flew demonstration runs with a ( valve cutoff) of Mach 2- at precisely l.350 MPH- at the controls, Jacqueline Auriol. at sea level this same Mach number would require a speed of over l500 MPH- figure it out. It is kind of problematical as for both tactical ( noise might attract enemy sound location- which antedates radar.- and environmental reasons- Mach Busting is ALWAYS done at high altitudes- such as 40,000 feet and above- in combat zones- and higher ( the Concorde cruised at 60,000 feet) for limited ( now technically suspended) commercial ops. Mach"s constant stands at 760- at sea level.
sound travels by one molecule of air knocking into the next one which then knocks into the next one each molecule simply passing the message on . at high altitudes the molecules of air are simply further apart (which is why it's hard to breathe up there) so it takes longer to pass the message from one molecule to the next.
The speed of sound in air has really nothing to do with the sea level and its atmospheric pressure. Speed of sound is dependent on the temperature. Normaly the temperature is higher at the ground and therefore the speed of sound is faster there than high on a mountain top. Forget the atmospheric pressure, think of the temperature.
Look at the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
It is easier to break the speed of sound at higher altitudes because of lower temperatures. With an increase in altitude temperature decreases at a standard lapse rate of 2 degrees C per 1000 feet. With warmer air, air particles have more kinetic energy (more excited), the more excited the particles, the easier it is for adjacent molecules can propagate a sound wave. On a standard day speed travels through air at 661.7 knots. At 25,000 ft on a standard day speed travels at roughly 600 knots.
The air is less dense at higher altitudes. The denser the air, the faster sound travels.
As altitude increases the density of air decreases. As speed of sound is directly proportional to density, speed of sound decreases as altitude increases.
More van der Waals' forces to break hence a higher temperature required to break them all
since acetyl ferrocene is attached to an acetyl group, the upper ring is asymmetrical. unlike ferrocene, whose rings are symmetrical (no attached groups) the melting point is higher due to symmetry. aka higher symmetry = higher melting point
Water usually boils at 212F or 100C at sea level. As you go higher up in the atmosphere (higher altitude), the amount of atmosphere pushing down on you decreases, hence the pressure decreases. Water boils when the vapor pressure of the water equals the atmospheric pressure. Vapor pressure increases with increasing temperature, so when there is less atmospheric pressure, a smaller vapor pressure is required to get the water boiling, hence a lower boiling temperature.
A melting point is a periodic property. Melting point is basically the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds. The more energy required, the stronger the bonds and the higher the melting point. For example, Since Ionic bonds have a transfer of electrons, it requires a lot of energy to break the bonds and has a higher melting point.
The answer is no. If you are comparing them with covalent or metallic bonds, then covalent is the strongest in general. There are, obviously, exceptions, but in general ionic bonds are easier to break than covalent bonds.
Chuck Yeager chose high altitude to try and break the sound barrier because the thinner air at higher altitudes provides less resistance to the aircraft, allowing it to reach higher speeds. Additionally, at high altitudes, there is less air traffic and fewer obstacles, making it safer to attempt such high-speed flights.
The duration of Break the Science Barrier is 3000.0 seconds.
Break the Science Barrier was created on 2008-02-07.
This is because the pressure needed to break the sound barrier is impossible to exceed but on the way back, the pressure is reduced and gravity pulls the aircraft down and the pressure for the sound barrier is reversed so it is a bit easier.
because of the air pressure being lower, there is less energy needed to break the attractive forces between the water molecules

Yes.

Only jet fighter planes break sound barrier now.
No helicopters can break the sound barrier. The fastest speed achieved be a helicopter is 249 mph.
then you break the sound barrier. it doesn't matter what you break it with, it just booms... o.O
