Supersonic jets can travel faster than the speed of sound this is called Mach 1?

Close! Actually, Mach-1 is the speed of sound. anything above Mach-1 (Mach-(1-5)) is supersonic, all the way up to Mach-5, at which point an object is called "Hypersonic". Sometimes speeds above Mach-10 are referred to as "High-Hypersonic". So, a jet moving at Mach-1 wouldn't actually be traveling FASTER than sound, it would be traveling AS FAST as 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.


Is Transonic speed faster than Mach 1?

By definition, Mach 1 is the speed of sound. Most of the time it is used to refer to the speed of sound in air, but it can be used to refer to the speed of sound in any fluid. Mach numbers are multiples of this speed, so Mach 0.5 is half the speed of sound while Mach 2.5 is two and half times the speed of sound. The term "transonic" refers to a condition where the speed crosses over the speed of sound - so it refers to a range of velocities of airflow exist surrounding and flowing past an air vehicle or an airfoil that are concurrently below, at, and above the speed of sound in the range of Mach 0.8 to 1.2. In this respect - at least some of the velocities must be below the speed of sound, some at the speed of sound and some faster. The correct term for speeds that are exclusively faster than Mach 1 is supersonic.


What does Mach 1 equal?

Mach 1 is the speed of sound about 760mph.


How fast is 0.82 mach speed?

Mach 1 at sea level is 340.3 m/s, 761.2 mi/h, 1,225 km/h, so Mach 82 would be 82 times faster. so Mach 82 is... 27,904.6 m/s 62,418.4 mi/h 100,450 km/h

the camaro. Depends on the driver.


How fast does a mustang mach 1 go?

The Mustang Mach I will reach speeds in excess of 105.5-mph. The Mach I will accelerate to 105-mph in 13.13-seconds. It is faster than the SS Camaro.

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.


What is a supersonic airplane?

An aircraft that flies faster than Mach 1- or about 770 miles an hour at sea level.


How fast is Mach .88 in mph?

There is no finite answer to this, since the term Mach (the speed of sound through air or water) changes based on the temperature of the air itself. In 60 deg F air at sea level, Mach 1 is 761mph. In dry air at 68 deg F, mach 1 is 768 mph. Mach 1.4 is 1.4 x these speeds. Usually Mach speeds are used for objects travelling in air, but not always. Mach 1 in water is 4.3 times faster than air and Mach 1 in iron is 15 times faster than air.


Are missiles faster than Railgun projectiles?

No. Missiles are pretty fast but Railgun projectiles are much faster than missiles.


Some aircraft can fly faster than the speed of sound what is such speed called?

They are called Supersonic aircraft. Some aircraft can only do that. Some planes have reached even Hypersonic speeds.


How fast in mph is mach 3?

Mach 3 means flying three times the faster than sound. Speed of sound at an usual temperature is 346m/s. This means Mach 3 is about 1 km/s. That is 3600kmph. That is 2250 mph.2283.59 mph
