No, the "sonic boom" is the noise observed as a supersonic shockwave generated by an object already traveling faster than the speed of sound passes over you. Different observers hear the same shockwave at different times, depending on their location relative to the supersonic object generating that shockwave.

What does MACH 1 have to do with sonic booms?
Mach 1 is the speed of sound. When an object travels at Mach 1, it is moving at the speed of sound. Sonic booms occur when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, creating a shockwave as it breaks the sound barrier.
What is created when a airplane travels faster than the speed of sound?
When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom. This is a loud noise produced by the shock waves formed as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound.
What best describes a flight that is approaching speed of sound?
We call them ultra sonic planes. There is a sonic boom it is traveling when this speed.
Can a liquid create a sonic boom when it breaks the sound barrier- For example a huge drop of water travelling faster than the speed of sound?
You probably meant 'travelling faster than the speed of sound' since, according to most scientists, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. It is most unlikely that any 'drop' of water could reach the speed of sound and thus break the sound barrier, since it would be slowed by wind resistance.
What is the answer to what is fatser than the speed of sound?
They are called ultra sonic. They travel faster than sound
Why do Sonic booms occur?
Sonic booms occur when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. As the object surpasses the speed of sound, it creates shockwaves that merge into a single shockwave heard on the ground as a sonic boom.
What is a sonic boom?
A sonic boom is created when you have something creating sound at a speed greater than what the sound wave can get away from the source. A jet flying at super-sonic speed will create a compression wave in front of it where the energy of its passing is 'cumulatively stored'. When this wave reaches a high enough pressure than the speed of sound in it will equal the speed of the jet and the energy will proceed to leak out. Once in 'normal' air this highly compressed wave will then expand into a wave front of ordinary sound that is greater than the sound of the jet passing by itself. A Sonic Boom is when something travels at such speed, that it breaks the sound barrier. The sound that is caused by breaking the sound barrier, is called a Sonic Boom.
Does a sonic boom occur at the moment when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound?
Yes, a sonic boom occurs when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound. It is the sound associated with the shock waves created by an object traveling through the air at a speed faster than the speed of sound.
What does MACH 1 have to do with sonic booms?
Mach 1 is the speed of sound. When an object travels at Mach 1, it is moving at the speed of sound. Sonic booms occur when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, creating a shockwave as it breaks the sound barrier.
How fast is sonic speed?
Sonic speed which is known as Mach 1 is the speed of sound which is 761 mph.
If you encounter a sonic boom is that evedence that an aircraft of some sort exceeded the speed of sound moments ago to become supersonic. Define your answer.?
Yes, encountering a sonic boom is evidence that an aircraft has traveled faster than the speed of sound (supersonic). A sonic boom occurs when an object, in this case, an aircraft, breaks the sound barrier, creating a shock wave that produces a loud noise. So, if you hear a sonic boom, it indicates that a supersonic aircraft has passed at that location.
Does an airplane traveling twice the speed of sound create two sonic booms?
No. The sonic boom will be created by any speed that is greater than the speed of sound.
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 a sonic boom occur every time the shuttle enters earth?
A sonic boom occurs when an object travels faster than the speed of sound. If the space shuttle enters Earth's atmosphere at a speed greater than the speed of sound, it will create a sonic boom. However, the shuttle typically slows down as it enters the atmosphere to avoid this effect.
Is Sonic the Hedgehog slow?
sonic the hedgehog is not slow he can go the speed of sound.
What is the difference between sonic and super sonic?
The term "sonic" refers to speeds equal to or greater than the speed of sound, which is about 767 mph (1,234 km/h) at sea level. "Supersonic" specifically refers to speeds greater than the speed of sound. So, while any speed equal to or greater than the speed of sound can be referred to as "sonic," only speeds exceeding the speed of sound are considered "supersonic."
What is the speed of Sonic the Hedgehog?
Sonic travels at the speed of sound which is 343km/s saying that's fast is an understatement.
