Sonic boom - the loud, thunder-like sound that someone on the ground hears when something in the air passes overhead faster than the speed of sound or supersonic.

Shockwaves form a cone-shape of pressurized air molecules which move outward in all directions and extend to the ground. The sharp release of pressure, after the buildup by the shockwave, is heard as the sonic boom.

The change in air pressure associated with a sonic boom is only a few pounds per square foot; this is about the same pressure experienced when riding an elevator down two or three floors.

The sudden onset of the pressure change is what makes the sonic boom.

All aircrafts generate cones at the nose and tail.

There are several factors that can influence sonic booms like size, weight, shape of object, altitude, attitude, weather and atmospheric conditions.

Larger and heavier aircrafts will create sonic booms stronger and louder than those of smaller, lighter aircrafts. The larger the object, the stronger the shockwave.

Next Question: Could the understanding of whip dynamics leads to potentially transporting things as supersonic speed?

Whip creates a mini sonic boom the handle movement to the end of the whip

The end of the whip goes fast, it creates 50,000 time the strength of gravity

There are two types of cracking, the downward snap and the forward snap (the forward makes a loop to snap the whip the downward use more gravity with no potential energy being used)

The whip will be used in a bunch of mediums, with a rod for the elastic of the whip

The whip in the water look like fly-fishing as the tip pass the speed of sound in the air

As the testing is going on they have a goal to find the equation of elastic of planar rod and conservation of laws of the wave, and it far from the end of the rod as well as the acceleration the rod has to deal with

The whip should that energy can increase exponentially as it use a flick of the wrist creates something that can breaks the sound barriers

The whip speed and tension create the crack sound

The wave is altered since the wave of the whip as they planned as they were setting up this experiment learned that the radius of the wave being change by the whip

There is two acceleration, so the transposing items need to stay on it for both of the acceleration

The most energy effective way is for the whip is to send a planar loop down it

Each whip has a different condition it gets more wear own it can mess up the launching

The research paper show that there is a change down the whip in the x and y making the rods sit need that point as the planar loop

The whip has the mini sonic booms at the tail before it fully extended

The first loop is the most important as without it the whip will not make the crack and after their experiment the loudest wave is to get it to have an increase acceleration because the high it is the faster it will crack and the loud it will crack as the sound is link to the speed of the whip as the is and increase on the sound and wavelength

Next question: Is it possible to launch something as it is with the launcher moving at sonic speed?

What happens when two objects moving at a supersonic rate collide?

What will happen to an object when it is traveling greater than Mach 1 and it suddenly comes to a complete stop

# data[].attributes.body
Just like how a shockwave is created when an object reaches mach-1 a shockwave can be created when that same object suddenly stops. When an object traveling faster than the speed of sound suddenly stops, it can create a shockwave that can cause damage to the structure of the object and probably cause it to fail. There would be serious injuries or death to any occupants onboard and there would be significant deformation to the materials, and heat generation from friction and compression that can damage the object even more. This means the effect would happen to both the objects that collide. For the sound waves, fragments of the collision would also create their own shockwaves resulting in an incredibly loud and energetic event

Next question - If a pilot is inside a jet going past mach 1 what will the pilot hear if anything?

What will happen to an object when it is traveling greater than Mach 1 and it suddenly comes to a complete stop (STP condition)?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Answer (1 of 2): There are some physical limitations to stopping immediately. I shall introduce some concepts in physics to help you understand. Force is anything that causes acceleration. When you drop a ball, its weight is a force that causes it to accelerate down and air resistance causes it ...

The concorde was a supersonic passenger-carrying commercial airplane.

It was built in the 1960’s as a joint venture between the United Kingdom and France and was the first of its kind.

Only 14 of these planes went into service before they were retired in 2003.

The Concorde's retirement was due to several reasons. These include:

It was extremely noisy and unpleasant to be in

It was extremely expensive to operate

The operating cost caused ticket prices to be too high for most people

This lead to both countries deciding to make new york city their only flight path

Lastly, in 2000 an Air France Concorde’s engine failure and subsequent crash killed all 109 people on board and 4 people on the ground

The Concorde's retirement was due to a number of factors. The supersonic aircraft was noisy and extremely expensive to operate, which restricted flight availability. The operating costs required fare pricing that was prohibitively high for many consumers. The resulting financial losses led both British Airways and Air France to make New York City their only regular flight destination. Finally, in 2000 an Air France Concorde's engine failure and subsequent crash killed all 109 people on board and 4 people on the ground. Many believe this event accelerated the retirement of the Concorde in 2003.

Manipulating a whip: the advantage of primitive actions

# data[].attributes.body
Understanding whip dynamics can improve the design of robotic systems that need precise and agile manipulation. Robots could use whip-like motion for tasks that involve flexible, elongated tools or materials, enhancing their ability to handle complex, tasks in manufacturing, medical surgery, and space exploration. Understanding whips can also be manipulated to move heavy objects more efficiently.

Next question: What happens if you whip a whip at the perfect distance where the tip of the whip that creates the sonic boom will be in water when its supposed to reach the speed of sound?

When an aircraft breaks the sound barrier, it creates ripples effect in the air and pressure around it

As the object speed up to supper sonic, the waves in front create a wave path from the object to the source of the materials

The higher up the airplane is, the greater distance it will cover

The length of the object will change how the sound is made as most fighter styles planes will create a double boom, but a larger aircraft will create a louder or complex boom

The birth of the sound barrier is when there is enough pressure from the object to combine tor create a single sound boom the fast it goes, the more sound wave it will make in the process

But in most military air combat there is no sonic boom as it is use as a way to quickly leave

Overall the size of the object matter as it depends on the since of the object as the amount of sonic booms depending on that as well as the higher up you are the more room the sound was will have on the people below and the pressure that is build up

Next Question: How would the amount of force affect the plane and the pilot of the plane

You can learn a lot about sonic booms by looking at the wakes boats leave in the water.

If you toss a pebble in a pond, little waves will form in concentric circles and propagate away from the point of impact. If a boat travels through the pond at 3 to 5 miles per hour, little waves will propagate in the same way both ahead of and behind the boat, and the boat will travel through them.

If a boat travels faster than the waves can propagate through water, then the waves "can't get out of the way" of the boat fast enough, and they form a wake. A wake is a larger single wave. It is formed out of all the little waves that would have propagated ahead of the boat but could not.

When an airplane travels through the air, it produces sound waves. If the plane is traveling slower than the speed of sound (the speed of sound varies, but 700 mph is typical through air), then sound waves can propagate ahead of the plane. If the plane breaks the sound barrier and flies faster than the speed of sound, it produces a sonic boom when it flies past. The boom is the "wake" of the plane's sound waves. All of the sound waves that would have normally propagated ahead of the plane are combined together so at first you hear nothing, and then you hear the boom they create.

It is just like being on the shore of a smooth lake when a boat speeds past. There is no disturbance in the water as the boat comes by, but eventually a large wave from the wake rolls onto shore. When a plane flies past at supersonic speeds the exact same thing happens, but instead of the large wake wave, you get a sonic boom.

the pilot hear engine from the vibration through the aircraft

Since the place where the pilot is, the can still feels the vibration in the machine

The air is still subsonic in the plane, so any noise they make they will hear

Since the plane is solid, any vibration or noise inside the plane make the pilot will hear as they are moving supersonic

The sound however he hear will be different because of the frequency of the plane as the Doppler effect will take charge

That will make he enegin be higher or lover depending on what he hears

The communication to the ground he will heave but because of the Doppler effect he will change what pitch of the machine

Pilot hear by wearing  noise-canceling headphones that technology will reduce the amount of noise the might hear because of the engine and other thing inside the playing that will need to be louder as the faster it goes

next question: How does the Dopper effect will change what the polit hears?
