Who knows what the future holds! May 9, Ishaan Shetty Feb 14, How does an engine break the sound barrier at almost above mph. Feb 16, Feb 9, Hi, tracy! Wonderopolis Oct 4, Buckley May 31, Wonderopolis May 31, Madison Apr 19, That's so cool! I like how you could actually hear the boom! When was this video taken? Wonderopolis Apr 20, Wonderopolis Apr 19, We're so glad you thought this Wonder was cool, m0nk3y!
Thanks for letting us know! Robert Apr 16, This video was super duper awesome. I can keep watching this over and over again. Wonderopolis Apr 16, Two new vocabulary word I learned in this article were bullwhip and sonic boom. A bull whip is something that can break the sound barrier. It is exactly like on of those jets that can break the barrier of sound. A sonic boom is when something breaks the barrier of sound. It makes an enormous sound,that happens when something breaks the sound barrier.
Such as a bullwhip. Two new facts I learned is that I never actually new that something could break the barrier of the sound. I thought that it was impossible to stay alive after breaking the barrier of sound because I heard that a jet was on the mission to break the barrier of sound and the jet exploded. I wonder if there was ever any kind of alarm clock or something other than that, which produces sound, that can break the barrier.
Because I want to get one of those. I also want to get a bullwhip. I'm very exited to write more. BYE :. Wonderopolis Apr 5, I like wonderopolis. It is really good to learn. Wonderopolis Mar 27, Matthew MC Mar 25, This wonder was my favorite yet. I did not know that however high you are that the speed varies to generate a sonic boom.
Like at sea level you have to be going miles per hour to generate a sonic boom. But at 20, ft you can generate a sonic boom at the speed of miles per hour. I did not know that the pilot of the airplane can not hear the sonic boom. I thought that the sound would be much louder. Do you know how loud the loudest sonic boom was and was it made by an airplane? Wonderopolis Mar 26, Srikar MC Mar 23, Hi, this is Srikar from Mrs. Caplins class. It was really cool when that guy made a sonic boom with soapy water.
I learned that sonic boom is a loud sound caused by shock waves created by any object that travels through the air faster than the speed of sound.
I had to use context clues when I read the word altitude and I learned that altitude means how high something is. When was the first sonic boom made?
Wonderopolis Mar 23, I see what a sonic boom is. Wonderopolis Mar 22, Clayton Mar 22, I would have to disagree on some of these theories, a sonic boom happens whenever something is going so fast that it breaks the sound barrier causing the sound to be delayed, when that happens you get all of the sound at once causing a loud boom.
Food Allergy Girl Mar 21, I think tomorrows wonder will be about airplanes. I am in the hospital again for an anyphylaxis reaction and I am very bored sitting around.
Got to go! I am getting wheeled to the operating room. My real name is Emma! Emma Mar 21, I never really knew what sonic boom meant until now. I think you guys should do a wonder on titanoboa snakes!!! I know every single person who goes on wonderopolis will read this! TJ Mar 21, Remember on wonder of the day number Have you ever lost your marbles? I commented on it and said that it was the very last comment I would put on Wonderopolis. I meant to say that I wouldn't be commenting on Wonderopolis for a long time.
Madalynn Mar 21, Oh I tried the wonder of the day about broadway and the video didn't show up but I did read about it it was really neat! I loved it! Thanks :. Wonderopolis Mar 21, Bertz's class Mar 21, We really liked today's wonder! We learned all about sonic booms. We think tomorrow's wonder might be about birds or jets. Tessa Mar 21, That is a quite interesting wonder for today! Do you think you could do a wonder about monkeys?
They are my favorite animal! I really love wonderopolis! It is awesome!!!!! KF Dragons Mar 21, Sonic boom is an impulsive noise similar to thunder. It is caused by an object moving faster than sound, about miles per hour at sea level. An aircraft traveling through the atmosphere continuously produces air-pressure waves similar to the water waves caused by a ship's bow.
When the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound, these pressure waves combine and form shock waves which travel forward from the generation or "release" point.
Wilbanks Mar 21, Very amazing. I love wonderopolis, I think it teaches the children a very good lesson. It is when a jet speeds up and it makes a big boom. I love the sonic boom. I think it is awesome. It's super cool science, isn't it, Emily? We like sonic booms, too! B Mar 21, I thought today's wonder was interesting, but I didn't like the video.
I think tomorrow's wonder is going to be about an air show. Grace Mar 21, I never knew this. Oh, and, there has been something that I've been Wondering about. Have you heard of the chupacabra?
If you have, what is it? Is it real? Just wondering. Wow, that was so cool. I learned some interesting facts about sonic booms. That video rocked the house. I think tomorrow's wonder is going to be about stars and the planets. Vikkie Mar 21, Hmmmmmmmmmm I'm not to sure what tomorrow's wonder will be! Sincerly, Vikkie. Miss Kirsten Mar 21, We think it might a jet or a rocket in the sky for tomorrow's Wonder of the Day.
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.
