Velocity of sound depends on?
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
Do we can travel faster or near to the speed of sound in space?
Any vehicle (such as a rocket) MUST exceed the 'speed-of-sound' in order to escape the atmosphere (actually much, much faster). The 'speed-of-sound' varies with the thickness of the medium in which it is travelling. At low altitudes (close to sea-level), sound can travel up to 880mph because the air has high density. At high altitude, where the air is 'thinner', sound travels only around 650mph. The escape velocity needed to completely escape the earth's gavitational "well" is around 25,000mph. However, if you only want to reach "space" (orbit the earth), the speed necessary is closer to 6,500mph (7 to 10 times the 'speed-of-sound'). Since we have to go faster than sound just to reach "space", obviously we can (and do) go faster while IN space. The Earth is travelling at about 35,000mph through "space", which means we are all travelling over 40 times faster than sound right now.
What is faster sound or electricity?
Electricity is faster than sound. The speed of electricity through a conductor is close to the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound through air.
Is the stealth bomber faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, the stealth bomber can fly faster than the speed of sound. It has a top speed of about 600 mph, which is faster than the speed of sound (around 760 mph).
Why you see the fighter plane first but hear the plane later?
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. This means that light waves, carrying visual information, will reach your eyes before sound waves reach your ears. This is why you see the fighter plane first before hearing it.
What happens when an airplane's speed is supersonic?
It is going faster than the speed of sound.
What strange thing happens to the Concorde when it goes faster than the speed of sound?
Sound waves are like ripples in a pond that radiate around the object. An aeroplane travelling at sub-sonic speed will be travelling behind the sound that it has emitted. When the aeroplane reaches the exact speed of sound, the sound it is producing will accompany it on its journey.
What happens when the plane goes faster the speed of sound?
You would hear the sound after the plane has passed.
Are there any galaxies that have travelled faster than the speed of light?
Travelling faster than the speed of light is not possible, therefore no galaxies have travelled or are travelling faster than the speed of light.
Is speed faster than sound?
A: it is an incorrect question;Speed and Sound are different and cannot be compared.speed is the ratio between distance and time (how long does it take to go how far?)sound is a compression wave travelling through a medium
What happens when Concorde plane flies faster than speed of sound?
its simple the sound barrier is broken :D
What happens when the plane goes faster than the speed sound?
when the plane goes faster than the speed of sound then the plane is seen first and the sound is heard after the plane has passed away. In this case the plane is having speed more than 1 mach.
Velocity of sound depends on?
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
What happens to a Harrier when it travels faster than the speed of sound?
There are different variations of Harriers in service, the fastest has a top speed of 735mph(.96mach) slower than the speed of sound.

Can a liquid create a sonic boom when it breaks the sound barrier- For example a huge drop of water travelling faster than the speed of sound?
You probably meant 'travelling faster than the speed of sound' since, according to most scientists, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. It is most unlikely that any 'drop' of water could reach the speed of sound and thus break the sound barrier, since it would be slowed by wind resistance.
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.
