Windows do not inherently break at the speed of sound; rather, they can shatter due to high-frequency vibrations or impacts. The speed of sound is about 343 meters per second (1,125 feet/second) in air, but the breaking point of glass depends on factors like temperature, thickness, and stress concentration. Generally, windows can break from shockwaves or high-velocity objects, but not purely due to traveling at the speed of sound.

Can a cobra helicopter break the sound barrier?

No, a Cobra helicopter cannot break the sound barrier. The maximum speed of a Cobra helicopter is around 185-190 mph, which is significantly lower than the speed of sound (about 767 mph at sea level).


How fast do you have to fly to break the sound barrier?

To break the sound barrier in the Earth's atmosphere, an object must travel at a speed of around 767 mph (1,235 km/h) at sea level. This speed is known as the speed of sound, or Mach 1.


Do all bullets break the sound barrier?

No, most bullets however do break the sound barrier, at roughly 1100 fps is the speed of sound. Some of the smaller pistal rounds like the 9mm go about 900 fps to about 1050 fps. So there you have it not all bullets break the sound barrier.


Are there any guns that can break the sound barrier?

Most modern guns DO fire bullets that break the sound barrier. That is, their bullets travel faster than the speed of sound when they are fired.

What rate of speed is necessary to break the sound barrier in mph?

The speed of sound is approximately 767 mph at sea level. To break the sound barrier, an object would need to travel faster than this speed, so it would have to be moving faster than 767 mph.


How do you break a sound barrier?

Breaking the sound barrier occurs when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, creating a shockwave. To accomplish this, an object needs to generate enough thrust and acceleration to overcome aerodynamic drag and reach supersonic speeds. Aircraft and some vehicles can be designed to break the sound barrier with specialized engineering and propulsion systems.
