1 mach equals 340 m/sec that is, 1224 Km per hour. Speeds over that limit are ultrasonic.

As pilots get closer to the speed of sound?

As pilots get closer to the speed of sound, the air resistance they experience increases significantly. This can lead to an effect known as "transonic buffeting" where the airflow over the aircraft becomes turbulent. Pilots must carefully control their speed and altitude to manage these effects and prevent loss of control of the aircraft.


Is it true or false that acceleration can only occur when the speed of an object changes?

False. Acceleration is a measure of how quickly an object's velocity is changing, which includes changes in speed, direction, or both. So, acceleration can occur even if the speed of an object remains constant but its direction changes.


How can acceleration occur when speed is constant?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Even if an object's speed is constant, acceleration can still occur if the direction of the object's motion changes. For example, when an object moves in a circle at a constant speed, it is undergoing acceleration towards the center of the circle due to the change in its direction of motion.


Why do Sonic booms occur?

Sonic booms occur when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. As the object surpasses the speed of sound, it creates shockwaves that merge into a single shockwave heard on the ground as a sonic boom.


When is the speed zero?

The speed is zero when an object is at rest or not moving. This can occur at any point during an object's motion when it changes direction or comes to a stop.

What is transonation?

Actually, transonic speed is not a speed faster than that of sound. Transonic speed is approx. Equal to the speed of sound, not faster.


Transonic speed is speed that is?

Faster than the speed of sound.


What is the difference between transonic and subsonic speeds?

Transonic speeds are when an object is moving near the speed of sound, experiencing a mix of subsonic and supersonic airflow. Subsonic speeds are when an object is moving at speeds below the speed of sound. At transonic speeds, airflow can become unpredictable, leading to effects like shock waves and buffeting.


How fast is transonic speed in mach?

Mach 0.8-1.0


What happens when an airplane slows from the speed of sound?

When an airplane slows from the speed of sound, it goes through a region called the transonic zone. During this process, shock waves and changes in air pressure occur, which can lead to turbulence and potential loss of control if not managed properly. Pilots need to carefully control the aircraft's speed to safely transition through the transonic zone.

What is an example of transonic?

I think it basically means anything flying/driving slightly under or near the speed of sound. Some of the racers on the Bonneville Salt Flats set most of the world land speed records (basically anything on wheels) and are trying to beat the sound barrier (Supersonic). And are very close. Those would be called Transonic.

What is the top speed of the F-117A?

The F-117 is a sub-sonic (or transonic) design with a maximum speed of .9 Mach, or a little over 600 MPH at 35,000 feet. It is capable of exceeding the speed of sound in a shallow dive.
