The Bell X-1 was Chuck Yeager's ride for his record-breaking flight.

Do you mean speed of sound at sea level? Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".
The Concorde was a supersonic commercial airliner. However, due to flight accidents the Concorde is no longer in service. The typical cruise speed for a commercial jet is about 0.8 Mach. Of course, almost any plane with sufficient engines and built for speed can dive down and break the sound barrier---but it may not recover from this.
YesThe sound barrier is roughly 1100fps depending on altitude. A lot of gun rounds are over the 1100fps threshold. Some pistol rounds are under this velocity. It is questionable if it creates a sonic boom, but the speed of sound is definitely reached and there are rounds that reach speeds of over 4000fps.
Which of them travel faster - light or sound waves? Light waves travel in vacuum with the speed of light c = 299792458 m/s or 983571056 ft/s. Sound waves travel at 20°C (68°F) with the speed of sound c = 343 m/s or 1125.33 ft/s. So light travels 874,030 times faster than sound. Don't forget that sound needs necessarily air as a medium. Light does not need a medium; vacuum is O
We call them sonic booms. There are jets can fly faster than sound speed.
Chuck Yeager.. I don't think anyone has yet to break the speed of sound on the ground, I could be wrong, anyone?
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.
The o in broke is a long vowel sound.
The word "broke" has a long 'o' sound, like in the word "no."

The O has a long O sound, as in spoke and woke.
The first man-made object to move faster than the speed of sound was the Bell X-1 aircraft, piloted by Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947. It broke the sound barrier and reached a speed of Mach 1.06.

No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Thrust SSC was the first car to break the sound barrier. Thrust SSC is a British designed jet propelled car developed by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher, Ron Ayers and Jeremy Bliss. Thrust SSC broke the land speed record on 15th October 1997 piloted by RAF Squadron Leader Andy Green and traveled at 1228km/h, a record which still stands today.
Yes, the Thrust SSC broke the sound barrier on October 15, 1997, becoming the first car to officially achieve this feat. It reached a speed of 763 mph, surpassing the speed of sound (approximately 767 mph at sea level).
