speeds lower than the speed of sound is known as the subsonic speed. speeds greater than the speed of sound is supersonic (mach 1) and speeds that are many times above the speed of sound (above mach 0) are known as hypersonic sounds.

What happens if you are travelling faster than the speed of sound?

When travelling faster than the speed of sound (supersonic speed), a sonic boom is created. This is a loud noise produced when an object passes through the air at a speed greater than the speed of sound. It can be disruptive and can lead to regulations on supersonic flight over populated areas.


The speed of sound at high altitudes where the air is less dense is greater than the speed of sound at low altitudes where the air is more dense.?

The speed of sound is influenced primarily by the temperature of the air rather than its density. At high altitudes, although the air is less dense, temperatures are often lower, which can lead to a lower speed of sound compared to warmer, denser air at lower altitudes. However, in certain conditions, such as when temperatures increase with altitude (e.g., in a temperature inversion), the speed of sound can be greater at higher altitudes. Overall, the relationship is complex and depends on the specific temperature and atmospheric conditions.


What happen when the aeroplane go faster than the speed of the sound?

When an airplane goes faster than the speed of sound, it reaches the speed of sound barrier, called Mach 1. This can create a sonic boom, which is a loud noise caused by shock waves produced by the plane breaking the sound barrier. The aircraft is said to be supersonic when flying faster than the speed of sound.

What was the flight faster then speed called?

There was not a special name for the first flight that went faster than the speed of sound. However, when a plane does go faster than sound, it said to be traveling at supersonic speeds.
