Most modern guns DO fire bullets that break the sound barrier. That is, their bullets travel faster than the speed of sound when they are fired.

What is the mph that breaks the sound barrier?

The speed of sound is approximately 767 mph, so any speed faster than that would break the sound barrier. Typically, speeds exceeding around 760-770 mph are considered supersonic.


How fast do you have to go to brake the sound barier?

To break the sound barrier (Mach 1), you need to travel at a speed of approximately 767 miles per hour (1,234 kilometers per hour) at sea level. The exact speed can vary depending on factors such as air temperature and pressure.


Can commercial airplanes break the sound barrier?

The Concorde was a supersonic commercial airliner. However, due to flight accidents the Concorde is no longer in service. The typical cruise speed for a commercial jet is about 0.8 Mach. Of course, almost any plane with sufficient engines and built for speed can dive down and break the sound barrier---but it may not recover from this.


Can a liquid create a sonic boom when it breaks the sound barrier- For example a huge drop of water travelling faster than the speed of sound?

You probably meant 'travelling faster than the speed of sound' since, according to most scientists, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. It is most unlikely that any 'drop' of water could reach the speed of sound and thus break the sound barrier, since it would be slowed by wind resistance.


What is the meaning of to break the language barrier?

The "language barrier" is when two people (or groups of people) can't communicate properly because they do not speak any languages in common. When you break that barrier, you can communicate...so you would assume that they started learning each other's language, or a different common one.

What is a supersonic aircraft?

Supersonic aircraft are those that can exceed the sound barrier. I.e. Concorde was capable of this. Any craft that can exceed 1 to 5 times the speed of sound falls in this category.


How fast does an object have to go to break the sound barrier?

To break the sound barrier you have to travel than the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air actually varies with temperature. When representing air as an ideal gas the speed of sound can be represented as c = square root(γRT) where γ = specific heat ratio = 1.4 R = specific gas constant = 287 T = Temperature in Kelvin. Using this equation the speed of sound in dry air at: -100 degrees Celsius is 264 metres per second 0 degrees Celsius is 343 metres per second 100 degrees Celsius is 287 metres per second.


Can Air Force One Break The Sound Barrier?

Technically speaking yes it can, because the definition of air force one is any air force plane that the president is in so for an example if a president decides to fly in an Air Force fighter jet like the F-15 his call sign would be air force one and it could break the sound barrier, but traditionally speaking the plane he flies daily can not break the sound barrier. The VC-25 (Boeing 747) the President typically flies is not supersonic within its normal flight envelope. That being said, a DC-8 once did break the sound barrier in a shallow dive as part of a controlled test, so it is theoretically possible for commercial airliners to break Mach 1, but strictly speaking a 747 is not a supersonic aircraft.


Are Crosman Silver Eagle Pellets any good could you rate them and tell me your opinion on them overall?

They are high-quality projectiles, and more accurate than most people holding the gun. they can break the sound barrier, which can (most likely will) effect accuracy if you gun is rated to go 1000 fps or more
