The non-dimensional property that is 1 at the speed of sound is the Mach number. It is the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the medium it is traveling through. A Mach number of 1 means the object is traveling at the speed of sound.
False
subsonic
No real limit, up to the speed of light. The Apollo astronauts traveled at ABOUT 32 times the speed of sound on their trip to the moon. That is the fastest yet.
The speed of sound does not depend on the amplitude of the sound wave or the frequency of the wave. It is primarily determined by the medium through which it travels, such as air, water, or solids. Additionally, the speed of sound is not influenced by the direction in which the sound is traveling.
The speed of sound is only 768mph.
The non-dimensional property that is 1 at the speed of sound is the Mach number. It is the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the medium it is traveling through. A Mach number of 1 means the object is traveling at the speed of sound.
False
subsonic
It depends on the substance the sound is traveling through. If the sound is traveling through air, it is usually about 800km/h. If it is traveling through water, the speed is about 4000km/h. If it is traveling through cosmos, its speed is 0km/h.

When something is traveling at the speed of sound, 343 m/s, it is said to be traveling at mach 1. When traveling at twice the speed of sound it is traveling at mach 2 and so on. Wikipedia.org, 'The World's Encyclopedia' has an entire article on Mack Number. Refer to the related link in the Related Links section below.
No. The sonic boom will be created by any speed that is greater than the speed of sound.
No, Mach is a unit of speed used to measure an object's speed relative to the speed of sound in the medium through which it is traveling. For example, Mach 1 is the speed of sound.
In dry air, at 20°C, the speed of sound is 343 meters/second.
The speed of sound at room temperature (around 20 degrees Celsius) is approximately 343 meters per second in air. The speed varies depending on the medium through which sound is traveling, with sound traveling faster in denser materials.
Only if it's traveling at less than the speed of sound
