Yes

when something moves fatser than the speed of sound (or breaks the sound barrier) it makes a shock wave which unleashes an enormous amount of energy which comes in the form of a sonic boom.

Hope this helps! :D

What happens when you exceed the speed of sound?

When an object exceeds the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom, which is a loud noise caused by the shock waves produced as it breaks the sound barrier.


What happens when a sound barrier is broken?

Well it creates a sonic boom.


What does the sonic boom have to do with breaking the sound barrier?

The sonic boom occurs when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound, creating a shock wave. This shock wave produces a loud noise that is heard as a boom. So, breaking the sound barrier means exceeding the speed of sound, leading to the creation of a sonic boom.


What sound is produced when the shock wave formed at the nose of an aircraft traveling at super sonic speeds reaches the ground?

super sonic boom


When was the sound barrier broken in the air?

A sonic boom is created, basically a hole in the atmosphere


Is it silent once you break the sound barrier?

No, breaking the sound barrier creates a sonic boom, which is a loud noise caused by the shock waves generated as an object travels faster than the speed of sound.


What is the enormous audible thunderclap that follows an aircraft as it goes through the sound barrier called?

The loud noise that occurs when an aircraft breaks the sound barrier is called a sonic boom. This is the result of shock waves created by the sudden change in air pressure caused by the aircraft traveling at supersonic speeds.


Do you hear a sonic boom when an object breaks the sound barrier?

Yes, a sonic boom is heard when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, creating a shock wave that produces a sudden, loud sound.


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.


Is the sonic boom constant in a plane like the boom follows the plane?

No, when the sound barrier is broken a burst of energy expands in a sphere perpendicular to the direction the plane is flying. The center of this sphere doesn't move much, it just expands until it dissipates.


Is the crack of a whip a sonic boom?

No, the crack of a whip is not a sonic boom. The crack of a whip is the sound made by the tip of the whip breaking the sound barrier, creating a sharp noise. A sonic boom is the sound produced as an object moves faster than the speed of sound, creating a continuous shockwave.


What is created when a airplane travels faster than the speed of sound?

When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom. This is a loud noise produced by the shock waves formed as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound.
