janaki Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 This is an odd question, I know, but I watch plenty of crazy shows and they rub off on me. Say you are super fast and strong, and you see a nice puffy cloud 7500 feet in the air, a few miles away. Let's say you are capable of throwing a punch at hypersonic speeds, creating a wave of compressed air. Just about how fast would you need to punch to make a shockwave capable of busting the nice big cloud? You can make up your own calculations for how far the cloud probably is, as I assume you have a basic idea of what I want to know. Remember also, to take the size of the fist into account. I'd like the answer to be in mach number. I shall grant ten points to the genius who solves this for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moontanman Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 You would have to create the equivalent of a nuclear explosion to do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
