Guest propertyofda Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I am only a fifth grader, so would appreciate it if no one laughed at me for asking this question but I cant find the answer ANYWHERE........ What was the first man-made object to go faster than the speed of sound? If you could tell me it would be greatly appreciated, and yes, I did try to find the answer myself but failed.

YT2095 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 probably a Bullet or an old explosive discovered during the days of Alchemy. Mercury Fulminate is one such product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed84c Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 yes, the wip 'crack' is the sound barrier being broken. Well probably more likely, A wet towel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Nah...more likely a whip I think. They probably had whips before shower rooms (I'm just guessing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
