What causes a sonic boom when a space shuttle lands?
Sonic booms occur when an object (space shuttle) is traveling faster than the speed of sound and the air in front of the object is compressed. As the air is compressed it emits a noise, thus the sonic boom.
Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?
Sonar uses sound waves to measure distances by calculating the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back. However, when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves emitted by the sonar system cannot catch up with the object to bounce back, making it impossible to accurately determine the speed of the object using sonar.
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.
Is there any object that is faster than sound?
Jet planes often fly faster than sound.
What is the non-dimensional property that is 1 at the speed of sound?
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.
What strange things happen to the concord in faster than the sound flight?
A sonic boom occurs by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound.
What is the strange thing that happens to the Concord in faster-than-sound flight?
A sonic boom occurs by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound.
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.
What is the explosive sound heard when a shock wave from an object traveling faster than the speed of sound reaches the ears of a person?
A sonic boom

What made sonic boom?
Anything traveling faster than sound.
What is the explosive sound heard when a shock wave from an object traveling faster than the speed of sound reaches a person's ears?
We generally refer to the sound we hear when a supersonic object passes somewhere in our vicinity as a sonic boom.+++A sonic boom is the shock-wave created by an aircraft accelerating past the speed of sound breaking through a pressure-wave formed in the slip-stream around the aircraft's nose.
Does sound go faster than an airplane?
Only if it's traveling at less than the speed of sound
How does sonic boom occur?
A sonic boom occurs when an object travels faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1), creating a shockwave. As the object moves through the air, it generates pressure waves that merge into a single shockwave heard as a loud noise.
