grease monkey Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Gots a question for all you math people out there... How fast is the speed of sound in feet per secound??

grease monkey Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 proally a bullet, or a cannon ball or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 A bullet. Probably a little before that. in the research and development of gunpowder, there where probably a few acidents resulting in shrapnel. I would say some of that probably broke the sound barrier.

Guest fixerupper Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Yeah, it is a whip. Anytime you hear the trademark crack from a bullwhip, that's it breaking the sound barrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
