Question
The picture below indicates a _____.
- An object moving at supersonic speed
- Sonic boom
- Shock waves
- All of the above
Hint:
The image given represent an object moving at a supersonic speed, that can produce sonic boom.
The correct answer is: All of the above
- When an object moves faster than the speed of sound, it is moving at a supersonic speed.
- A sonic boom is the phenomenon caused by a sound-emitting object when it moves at a supersonic speed.
- The shock waves produce a huge amount of energy which can lead to the supersonic movement of an object.
