How many times has the speed of sound been broken?

The speed of sound has been officially broken multiple times. The most notable instances include Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier in 1947 and the ThrustSSC breaking the sound barrier on land in 1997. Additionally, different aircraft and fictional vehicles have broken the speed of sound in various testing scenarios.


When was the sound barrier broken in the air?

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


How do you break a sound barrier?

Breaking the sound barrier occurs when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, creating a shockwave. To accomplish this, an object needs to generate enough thrust and acceleration to overcome aerodynamic drag and reach supersonic speeds. Aircraft and some vehicles can be designed to break the sound barrier with specialized engineering and propulsion systems.


What is the best way to break the sound barrier?

The best way to break the sound barrier is to travel at a speed faster than the speed of sound, which is approximately 767 miles per hour (1,235 km/h) at sea level. This can be achieved by using supersonic aircraft or vehicles designed to withstand the stresses associated with breaking the sound barrier.


When sound waves hit a barrier nothing happens?

When sound waves hit a barrier, they can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. The barrier will block some of the sound energy, causing it to decrease in intensity as it interacts with the barrier. Sound waves can also diffract around the edges of the barrier, affecting how the sound is heard on the other side.

What happens when Concorde plane flies faster than speed of sound?

its simple the sound barrier is broken :D


Has anyone ever crossed the sound barrier?

On foot? No. But the sound barrier has been passed in land and air vehicles. The sound barrier is also known as Mach 1, so anytime you hear mention of a vehicle travelling at a speed greater than or equal to Mach 1, or travelling at "supersonic" speeds, it's passed the sound barrier.
