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.

Is explosive force of gunpowder have a faster speed then emulsion-gel?

Gunpowder typically ignites and burns faster than emulsion-gel explosive, which results in a quicker release of energy and a faster explosive force. Emulsion-gel explosives are engineered to be more stable, controlled, and efficient, so they may be more predictable and suitable for certain applications despite having a slower speed of reaction.


Why Does a car have a higher momentum because it is traveling faster?

A car has higher momentum when traveling faster because momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. When a car is moving at a faster speed, it has a higher velocity, resulting in a greater momentum due to the increased product of mass and velocity.


What is the sound barrier?

The sound barrier is the point at which an object traveling through air reaches the speed of sound, where it meets increasing resistance, often resulting in a sonic boom. Breaking the sound barrier was a significant milestone in aviation history, showing the ability to fly faster than the speed of sound.


Is it true that the higher you drop something from the faster?

Yes, as an object falls, it accelerates due to gravity. This means that the longer it falls, the faster it gets until it reaches its terminal velocity, the maximum speed at which it can fall in a specific medium like air or water.


Which is travelling faster a cyclist who travels 400m in 20s or a skier who travels 1500m in 1 min workings?

The cyclist is traveling faster as they cover 400m in 20 seconds, which means they are going at a speed of 20m/s. The skier covers 1500m in 1 minute, which is equivalent to 25m/s. Therefore, the skier is traveling faster.
