What else can I help you with?
Could you detect an object travelling in excess of the speed of light.?
No, it is not possible for any object or signal to travel faster than the speed of light according to the laws of physics as described by Einstein's theory of relativity. Any object that appears to be moving faster than the speed of light is a violation of the laws of physics.
What strange thing happens to the Concorde when it goes faster than the speed of sound?
Sound waves are like ripples in a pond that radiate around the object. An aeroplane travelling at sub-sonic speed will be travelling behind the sound that it has emitted. When the aeroplane reaches the exact speed of sound, the sound it is producing will accompany it on its journey.
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.
How fast does an object have to go to break the sound barrier?
To break the sound barrier you have to travel than the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air actually varies with temperature. When representing air as an ideal gas the speed of sound can be represented as c = square root(γRT) where γ = specific heat ratio = 1.4 R = specific gas constant = 287 T = Temperature in Kelvin. Using this equation the speed of sound in dry air at: -100 degrees Celsius is 264 metres per second 0 degrees Celsius is 343 metres per second 100 degrees Celsius is 287 metres per second.
How does the medium affect the speed of sound?
The speed of sound in a medium is influenced by factors like the density and elasticity of the medium. In general, sound travels faster in denser and more elastic materials. For example, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases.
Can any object move faster than sound?
yes, bot not faster than light
What is the speed of a object that travels faster than sound?
The speed of an object traveling faster than sound is referred to as supersonic. For example, the speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. Therefore, any object traveling faster than 343 m/s would be considered supersonic.
Which is faster a heat wave or sound wave?
Any electromagnetic wave in vacuum is about 881,000 times faster than any sound in air.
What is mach speed?
340.29 m/s

How f15 jet can go faster than sound?
Any modern jet fighter can go past the speed of sound.
Why the roaring sound of lion travels faster than the buzzing sound of a mosquito?
There's no evidence to indicate any difference in the speeds of those two sounds, or of any other sound.
What strange thing happens to the Concorde when it goes faster than the speed of sound?
Sound waves are like ripples in a pond that radiate around the object. An aeroplane travelling at sub-sonic speed will be travelling behind the sound that it has emitted. When the aeroplane reaches the exact speed of sound, the sound it is producing will accompany it on its journey.
Is it possible to travel faster than the speed of light?
According to the theory of relativity, it is currently believed to be impossible for any object with mass to travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
Can the starship Enterprise travel faster than the speed of sound?
Starship Enterprise is a ficticious starship. On the other hand, any interplanetary mission we use nowadays will travel faster than the speed of sound; otherwise it wouldn't be worth much.
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.
If an item has a greater mass than another object will it burn faster?
No. There's no relationship between mass and flammability.Any mass of tissue paper burns faster than any mass of concrete.
