when an object reaches or exceeds the local speed of sound (I said local because speed of sound depends on temperature), such as bullet fired from rifle when an object reaches or exceeds the local speed of sound (I said local because speed of sound depends on temperature), such as bullet fired from rifle when an object reaches or exceeds the local speed of sound (I said local because speed of sound depends on temperature), such as bullet fired from rifle

Does a supersonic aircraft make a sonic boom only when it cracks the sounds barrier?

yes


What can make a sonic boom?

Most military combat aircraft can make a sonic boom, even space shuttles. The aircraft flies up to Mach 2, twice as fast as the speed of sound and can travel more than one thousands miles per hour, which is much faster than the speed of sound. A supersonic passenger aircraft can also beat the speed of sound (it is called air France the Concorde). A supersonic boat can also make a sonic boom and there are even supersonic cars the fastest land vehicle. There is a Russian supersonic bomber called the Tu-160 Blackjack and the United States has a supersonic bomber called the B-1 bomber.

Can any commercial passenger airplane cause a sonic boom?

No, commercial passenger aircraft are designed to avoid creating sonic booms by maintaining subsonic speeds. Sonic booms are produced when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound (approximately 767 mph at sea level), which is not typical for commercial flights.


How do you make a sonic boom?

Move faster than the speed of sound in the medium you are in. Some examples:The crack of a whip is caused when the tip goes supersonic.High velocity bullets.Supersonic jets.

What are the disadvantages to supersonic transport?

Supersonic transport faces several disadvantages, including high operational costs due to fuel consumption and maintenance of specialized aircraft. Additionally, the sonic boom produced when flying faster than the speed of sound can lead to noise pollution, restricting overland flight paths in many regions. Environmental concerns also arise from increased greenhouse gas emissions and potential impacts on wildlife. Furthermore, the limited passenger capacity and longer runway requirements make supersonic flights less practical for many airports.

Can a meteor make a sonic boom?

When an object travels faster than the speed of sound in Earth's atmosphere, a shock wave can be created that can be heard as a sonic boom. Large meteors frequently produce audible sonic booms before they are slowed by the atmosphere.
