Is it easier for an aeroplane to make a sonic boom when it travels higher up?
The speed of sound in an ideal gas is not dependent on its density, but IS dependent on temperature. So, at a lower temperature, the speed of sound will decrease, making it easier to reach Mach 1.
How the equqtion of motion for an object moving with a uniform velocity change?
Any change in motion (direction or speed) is a change in velocity.
Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has a magnitude and a direction.
How does flying supersonic aircraft shatter glass of the window panes?
Moving faster than the speed of sound creates a shockwave. This shockwave is a wave of very high air pressure. When it hits glass it pushes on it and if the pressure of the shockwave is higher than the strength of the glass, the glass breaks.
Is the string a better carrier of sound than air answer?
I give the answer yes. Strings are made by metals. speed is high in metals.
Why dont you notice the Doppler effect for a slow moving train?
The Doppler effect occurs whether the sound source or the listener is moving. You wont notice the Doppler effect on a slow moving train because the radio wave is reflected, its frequency changes depending on the speed of the object.
Does a violin have a long wavelength or short wavelenghth?
The frequency range of a violin runs from about 400 Hz - 4,000 Hz. Assuming room temperature and atmospheric pressure, the speed of those sound waves will be 343 m/s. That corresponds to a wavelength range of 343/400 to 343/4,000 = .858 m - .0858 m, or roughly 3 ft. - 3 in. Compared to other musical instruments, that wavelength range is pretty average, albeit skewed slightly towards the shorter wavelength range.
Why does sound not travel in a vacuum?
Spoken sound waves use air to travel along. As a vacuum does not contain any air particles, sound will not be heard.
Sound is mechanical energy, and it requires a mechanical medium to propagate. That means that the medium must behave or respond in some mechanical way to conduct sound. Air or any liquid or solid will respond mechanically to the compression and rarefaction of a sound wave. In a vacuum, there is nothing to be compressed, so no sound will be conducted.
Because a vacuum does not have a medium (material) for the sound waves and particles to pass through the same with space because there is no air for them to travel through.
Is the speed of sound 87000 Miles per second?
No, the speed of sound (at sea level) is only about 0.213 mile per second.
What property of sound is affected by change in air temperature?
The speed, and therefore also the wavelength (for sound of a given frequency), are affected by temperature.
Does the speed of sound in water change with a temperature change?
yes it is changing. It's increasing with the temperature.
Did the bloodhound break the sound barrier?
Bloodhound SSC has not made her first run yet. So far as I can tell, it has not been yet scheduled.
How will the speed of sound wave change if the temperature of the medium rises?
The speed will typically increase. It is hard to make a blanket statement though, because so much depends upon the type of medium being acted upon.
What is speed of sound in British unit?
about 1,115 feet per second,
or 760 miles per hour,
or 2,044,380 furlongs per fortnight
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their
frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
Does f 16 is the fastest plane to travel faster than speed of sound?
Yes, F 16 fighter jet can travel faster than speed of sound. Its Maximum speed:
The speed of sound is around 343.2 metres per second, 1236 km per hour (768mph)
What is the speed of sound in concrete?
Between 3200 and 3600 m/s, the closer together the particles are in a substance are, the faster sound can travel through it. This is why these values are much higher than the 343 m/s, the speed of sound in air.
What happens as the pilot gets closer to the speed of sound?
The airplane becomes more difficult to fly because there is more drag from air molecules
What is the speed of sound in gelatin?
The speed of sound in gelatin depends on the gelatin concentration but it is approx 1520 metres/second.
Hey Ava==Take it to the garage and find out what is happening. goodluckJoe
Why did Chuck Yeager get to fly the plane that broke the sound barrier?
Chuck Yeager had been an Army Air Corps "Ace" fighter pilot, including becoming an "ace in a day" by destroying five German aircraft during WWII- in one day! One of his "kills" was one of the first German ME-262 jet fighters.
Because Yeager had been an evadee in World War II, he got his pick of bases in the US after the war. He chose the closest to his home - Wright Patterson in Ohio, not far from West Virginia. That was where flight test was in 1945.
Chuck was a maintenance officer there, and due to his background helping his father drill gas wells, he understood the systems in the X-1. As a maintenance officer, he flew more airplanes than anyone else. He also flew in air shows. Col. Boyd said that he was the best.
General Yeager, born February 13, 1923, lives with his second wife (his first died in 1990) and continues to fly jets, P-51s, and light planes.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases
Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases
Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
What is the speed of sound in scientific notation?
The scientific notation for the speed of light is 3.0 x 10. 8. m/s, or, 3 x 10. 5. km/s depending on the units you're using (meters or kilometers).
