What else can I help you with?
How many feet per second does a bullet have to travel to be supersonic?
The dry air speed of sound is about 1125 FPS, so anything over that is considered supersonic.
Does bullet emit sound while traveling?
Yes, but it is travelling supersonic so you don't hear it until it has passed you or just reached you Not all bullets are supersonic.
What bullet does the intervention use?
.408 Supersonic Chey-Tac round. It uses a 419-grain or 305-grain cartridge, and uses a Spitzer bullet
How do the gases in a gun expand to supersonic speeds without becoming choked in order to accelerate a bullet to supersonic speeds?
While in some cases the gasses are aided by the shape of the cartridge case, which becomes more narrow as you move towards the mouth of the case, the primary acceleration is due to the composition of modern smokeless gunpowder. Unlike the original black powder, which was a low explosive, modern powders are based on nitrogycerin and nitrocellulose. These explode with a speed that is above supersonic. Thus even a straight sided cartridge such as a .357 Magnum can drive a bullet at supersonic speeds.
What produced a sonic boom?
movement faster than the speed of sound...:) precious A supersonic bullet is one thing that produces a sonic boom.
Do guns use a converging-diverging nozzle to accelerate bullets to supersonic speeds?
No, bullets are accelerated by rapidly expanding gasses. Those gasses are in a cylinder only open at one end. The bullet acts as a piston, and is pushed out of the open end of the cylinder. Not all bullets are supersonic, but those that are become supersonic from the amount of acceleration, and the time it is applied.
Are 40 caliber bullets supersonic?
Some .40 caliber bullets are supersonic and some are not; it depends on the load. Generally lighter bullets (155 grain or less) will be supersonic, and heavier bullets (165 grain or more) will be subsonic, although there are a couple 165 grain bullets out there with advertised velocities about equal to the speed of sound. No matter what bullet you purchase, if you feel like subsonic/supersonic is a difference-maker to you, then check the manufacturer's specifications on the ammunition you're purchasing.
Does an airplane travel faster than bullet?
Yes, an airplane travels faster than a bullet. The average speed of a commercial airplane is around 550-600 mph, while the speed of a bullet can range from 1,700 mph to over 3,000 mph depending on the type and caliber.
What is the type of jet that is faster than a speeding bullet?
A supersonic jet, such as the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, is faster than a speeding bullet. These jets can travel at speeds exceeding Mach 3, which is over three times the speed of sound.
Who is The company that's makes supersonic televisions?
Supersonic
What cause multiple shock waves produce by bullet?
Multiple shock waves produced by a bullet are primarily caused by the supersonic speed at which the bullet travels through the air. As the bullet moves faster than the speed of sound, it generates a series of pressure waves, leading to the formation of a shock wave cone behind it. Each disturbance in the air, such as changes in velocity or direction, can create additional shock waves, resulting in a complex pattern of wave interactions. This phenomenon is further influenced by the bullet's shape, caliber, and the medium it travels through.
How long does a bullet stay in the air?
The time a bullet stays in the air, also known as time of flight, can vary depending on the type of firearm and the bullet's velocity. On average, most bullets travel at supersonic speeds, so they can cover a distance of a few hundred meters in less than a second. Generally, for typical firearms, the time of flight is usually less than a second.
