If you break the sound barrier do you hear the boom again once you slow down?
Yes. If you were to slow to subsonic speeds, the boom can catch up to you, and you would hear it.
What is the speed lower than the speed of sound called?
speeds lower than the speed of sound is known as the subsonic speed. speeds greater than the speed of sound is supersonic (mach 1) and speeds that are many times above the speed of sound (above mach 0) are known as hypersonic sounds.
What is the difference between a sirocco and a mistral?
Sirocco is a Mediterranean wind that comes from the Sahara and reaches hurricane speeds in North Africa and Southern Europe. The mistral is a strong, cold and usually dry regional wind in France, coming from the north or northwest.
What is the difference between between the chemical structure of the oxygen that you breathe and ozone?
Oxygen is O2 and ozone is only O. This change happens naturally from Oxygen to Ozoneand the other way around. the reason carbon dioxide is destroying the ozone layer is because it speeds up the chemical change from Ozone to Oxygen.
Why do objects disintegrate upon entry into Earth's atmosphere but not upon exit?
The key factor is not whether they're entering or exiting, but the speed they're travelling. The escape velocity for reaching Earth orbit is some 11.2 km/s, but vehicles leaving Earth will typically reach that speed only after they've already left the upper layers of the atmosphere. Vehicles enteringthe atmosphere, however, will not have the benefit of huge engines with which to slow their approach to subsonic speeds, and will rely on atmospheric friction to do that for them. Meaning they will hit atmosphere at speeds in excess of 10 km/s.
What has the author Richard T Whitcomb written?
Richard T. Whitcomb has written: 'Zero-lift-drag characteristics of wing-body combinations at transonic speeds' 'A design approach and selected wind-tunnel results at high subsonic speeds for wing-tip mounted winglets'
When transonic speed occur?
1 mach equals 340 m/sec that is, 1224 Km per hour. Speeds over that limit are ultrasonic.
What is the difference between kinetic friction and state friction?
it speeds up and speeds down
Does a hang glider fly at infrasonic speeds?
The correct term for this is subsonic, not infrasonic. And yeah, I wouldn't want to go above the speed of sound in a hang glider! So, yes, they fly subsonic.
Why aircraft that travel at supersonic speeds cannot be heard on the ground?
The properties of air flow at supersonic speeds is different than for subsonic speeds. So the design of the shape of the airplane and the inlets for the engines have to be different in order for it to fly at supersonic speeds.

How fast is a Nuclear Bomb shockwave?
roughly 50,000 meters per second at the moment of detonation. it quickly slows to subsonic speeds.

Difference between an analog and digital scope?
Analog can reach higher speeds.

What happens to the air when a plane travels faster than the speed of sound?
Nothing. But remember, at supersonic speeds air is compressible in action, whereas it ACTS like a non-compressible fluid at subsonic speeds.
Does an airplane travel faster than bullet?
Some do, some don't. The bullet from a .45ACP is subsonic. There are a number of planes that fly at supersonic speeds.
