Is the noise a stick/twig makes when you swing it really hard breaking the sound barrier? What makes the noise?
Thanks
it is possible to break the sound barrier with a stick
how hard it is to break the sound barrier as far as that question goes, it depends on the weight, hardness/stiffness and the length of [...]
the drag it’s geometry created. What would happen to it? Would the aircraft survive at the speed of sound or would it’s wings shatter, or something around those lines.
There were many claims during and after WWII about aircraft breaking the sound barrier. The P-47 Thunderbolt, Me-262 twin-jet (first operational jet fighter), and Me-163 Komet [...]
i thought that sound waves were invisible to the naked eye? but high speed photography clearly shows a visible cone shaped cloud around the aircraft as it breaks through the barrier?

In layperson’s terms, what causes the physical manifestation of the vapour bubble around a plane that breaks the sound barrier?
The shock wave is a sudden build up of pressure in the air. When this pressure passes by, the compressed air suddenly expands and cools. If there is enough water vapor in the air [...]
I see many are saying the bull whip, but wasn’t it actually the slingshot? A slingshot similar to those used in biblical times breaks the sound barrier when used.
You are incorrect. The slings of Biblical times, and not even modern slings, never come close to the speed of breaking the sound barrier. Thus, [...]
I’m interested in installing cork flooring. I’ve been told that it acts as a sound barrier. I have a new home, the master bedroom is above the kitchen and the genius builder didn’t insulate between the floors. It doesn’t matter how softly or hard someone walks across the floor, it wakes me up b/c of [...]
I know that the "sound barrier" would be 4.3 times faster in water but its just a theory question.
Very similar phenomena to what happens when you break the "sound barrier" in air.
It is just MUCH more difficult to do so in water, because water’s speed of sound is much greater, and water fluid drag effects [...]
I just moved into a condo and want to insulate my walls with some kind of sound barrier, without having to remove any drywall. I’ve heard of insulation being blown into walls, was wondering if there’s something similar that assists with sound?
There are various materials that can be injected into the walls , green [...]
A new record attempt is planned to free fall from 120,000 feet, the previous record is 102,000 feet and top speed reached was over 600mph, is it possible to break 716 mph from 120,000 Feet ? I wanna know from you clever nerds out there, this "freefaller" thinks it is possible to break the sound [...]
We’re trying to decide on a name for my band. We’ve really already decided but I’d still like to know what people think. Sound Barrier may be spelled Sound Burier.
i like sound barrier the most. no,wait, never mind. i didnt see the 2 words in front of ‘pace’. i like ‘out of pace’ and ’sound [...]
