We call them sonic booms. There are jets can fly faster than sound speed.
A fighter jet can be faster than the speed of sound.
yes
Any modern jet fighter can go past the speed of sound.
The SR-71 is the fastest manned jet. Its fastest recored speed is Mach 3.3 (3.3 the speed of sound.)
The speed of sound has nothing to do with jet airplanes. About 750 mph, and it was that before jets, and even the Acropolis were built.
Mach is the coefficient of the speed of sound, so Mach 1 means you are travelling at 1 x the speed of sound.
supersonic
Yes, the Thrust SSC broke the sound barrier on October 15, 1997, becoming the first car to officially achieve this feat. It reached a speed of 763 mph, surpassing the speed of sound (approximately 767 mph at sea level).
It will fly approximately twice the speed of sound.
Thrust SSC was the first car to break the sound barrier. Thrust SSC is a British designed jet propelled car developed by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher, Ron Ayers and Jeremy Bliss. Thrust SSC broke the land speed record on 15th October 1997 piloted by RAF Squadron Leader Andy Green and traveled at 1228km/h, a record which still stands today.
no, not necessarily. the reason that the sound appears to be coming from way behind the jet is because light travels faster than sound. think of a firework show, the sound always comes after the flash depending on how far away you are. since the jet is far away, by the time the sound reaches you, the jet is already way out ahead of the sound. this might help. ---jet--> ) ) ) <---sound ) ) ) ) 0 \|/ | <----you --------------------------/ \--------------------------------------------- /
no it was not but it was very fast
