Does the sound of a plane reduces when it is flying low and increases when flying high?
The sound of a plane can be affected by its altitude, but it generally doesn't increase or decrease simply based on flying low or high. At lower altitudes, sound can travel more effectively to the ground due to less atmospheric absorption, making it seem louder. Conversely, at higher altitudes, sound can dissipate more in the atmosphere, which may make it less audible from the ground, but the actual noise produced by the aircraft remains consistent. Factors like wind and terrain also influence how sound travels.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
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.
Who was famous for flying a plane?
Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier for the first time.
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
If you a jet flying overhead where should you look to locate the plane?
Since the speed of sound is heard before the usually seeing things... you would behind the sound, suspecting this is what you were asking?
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.
Does fighters plane's sound break the glasses of window?
Yes- they can also knock over rickety old sheds if they are flying low enough.
What is the difference between hypersonic supersonic planes?
A supersonic plane is one that is flying faster than the speed of sound, or Mach 1. A hypersonic plane flies at a speed of Mach 5, so is much faster than a supersonic plane. Mach numbers are used for speeds greater than the speed of sound.
Who was the first person to break the sound barrier in a plane?
Chuck Yeager, an American test pilot, was the first person to break the sound barrier in a plane on October 14, 1947. He accomplished this feat by flying the Bell X-1 research aircraft.
What happens to the speed of sound if the temperature of the medium increases?
If the temperature of the medium increases, the speed of sound also increases. This is because sound travels faster in warmer air due to increased molecular motion and faster propagation of sound waves.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
