What else can I help you with?
Can a bullet travel faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, bullets travel faster than the speed of sound. That is why if someone was to shoot a target from a distance and you were standing beside the target, you would be able to see the target get hit by the bullet before you would hear the crack of the gun Some bullets travel faster than the speed of sound, but not all.
What bullets travel slower than the speed of sound?
Subsonic bullets, which typically travel at speeds below the speed of sound (about 1,125 fps or 343 m/s), are commonly used in suppressed firearms to reduce the noise created by the bullet exceeding the speed of sound. These bullets travel at velocities below the speed of sound to minimize the supersonic crack produced when breaking the sound barrier.
Does sound travel faster than sound?
No, sound cannot travel faster than itself. Sound waves propagate at a specific speed in a given medium, such as air or water, and they cannot exceed that speed. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which it is traveling.
Does a rifle travel fast or the sound of the shot fired from it?
The bullets fired from MOST rifles travel faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is ABOUT 1126 feet per second- it varies some with temperature, air pressure, etc. Rifles usually fire a bullet with an intital speed of between 2400 and 4000 feet per second. Bullets DO slow down after leaving the gun, and can become slower than the speed of sound after traveling some distance.
Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Are there any guns that can break the sound barrier?
Most modern guns DO fire bullets that break the sound barrier. That is, their bullets travel faster than the speed of sound when they are fired.

Can a jet fighter fire its canons while flying faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, a jet fighter can fire its cannons while flying faster than the speed of sound. The bullets fired from the cannons can also travel faster than the speed of sound, effectively hitting the target even when the jet is flying at supersonic speeds.
Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?
No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.
What bullets travel slower than the speed of sound?

What do you break when you travel faster than the speed of sound?
The sound barrier
Does sound travel faster than sound?

What is faster a f-117 or a bullet?
Based on a little research I just did, the F117's maximum speed is just under Mach 1 (the speed of sound). Some bullets travel much slower than that, and some travel much faster, so it just depends on which bullet you're referring to.
Does sound travel faster in air in winter or summer?
Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.
Who would win flash vs quick silver?
I'll pick Flash.Both are basically the same. Accept its proven that Flash is faster. Flash is as fast as the speed light. Where as Quicksilver is as fast as the speed of sound. Guns can fire bullets at the speed of sound. Flash dodges bullets all the time. If you faster than bullets your faster than Quick silver. FLASH WINS!Besides flash is just cooler.
Can a sneeze travel faster than the speed of sound?
No, a sneeze cannot travel faster than the speed of sound. The average speed of a sneeze is around 100 miles per hour, which is much slower than the speed of sound, which is about 767 miles per hour in dry air at room temperature.
