Who broke the speed of sound in a jet?

We call them sonic booms. There are jets can fly faster than sound speed.


Are airplanes jets?

Yes, jets are airplanes but they are called supersonic airplanes.


Why are fighter jets so loud?

They have incredibly powerful engines. Most fighter jets are capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. An airplane traveling faster than the speed of sound will be seen before it is heard.


Have people ever traveld at the speed of sound?

Yes, often. Fighter jets go faster than sound.


What is an example of supersonic sound?

No such thing as supersonic sound. Things can move with supersonic speed (fighter jets, ends of whips) making a shock wave, but the sound arrives at your ears at the speed of sound.


How does the pitch of a sound affect its speed?

The pitch of a sound, which is determined by its frequency, does not affect its speed. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is roughly 343 meters per second. This speed is independent of the pitch of the sound wave.


How many miles per hour is the speed of sound on the first jet airplane?

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.


What three properties of a medium affect the speed of a sound?

The three properties of a medium that affect the speed of sound are elasticity, density, and temperature. Answered by: Nur _ _ _ _ _ _ Izyani


Is this still occurring after sound barrier was broken?

You don't specify what occurrences you are asking about.All passenger jets today travel at less than the speed of sound, and most military jets also fly at less than the speed of sound.There have been passenger jets run by Russia and by Concorde that traveled at greater than the speed of sound, but none are currently operating.Whenever any jet or vehicle breaks the sound barrier a sonic boom is generated. I believe there is some military technology to reduce the boom, but it does still occur.


How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?

The frequency of a sound wave does not affect the speed at which the wave moves. The speed of sound in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity. However, frequency does impact the pitch of the sound we hear.


How does pressure affect sound wave propagation?

Only the temperature is changing the speed of sound.


Did pressure greatly affect the peed of sound in the air?

No. Speed of sound is independent of pressure.
