Thanks for the info
however you sed that the air molecule bouncing off the nose of the space shuttle is still traveling at 10,000 km/h, if so then why doesn't the shockwave travel at that speed since its carried by those molecules. I think the effect here is friction, that's why the speed of...
Well basically, when an aircraft moves faster than the speed of sound it tries to push the air along that same speed right? but the reason for the sonic boom is that the air cannot excede that limit. what causes this to occur?
thanks for ur reply
