when an object reaches or exceeds the local speed of sound (I said local because speed of sound depends on temperature), such as bullet fired from rifle when an object reaches or exceeds the local speed of sound (I said local because speed of sound depends on temperature), such as bullet fired from rifle when an object reaches or exceeds the local speed of sound (I said local because speed of sound depends on temperature), such as bullet fired from rifle
This occurs at Mach 1, which is the speed of sound. At this speed the sound waves traveling out in front of the aircraft become compressed into a single intense front or "shock wave" which forms a cone shape with the point of the cone on the aircraft's nose, and spreading out behind the aircraft. If you're standing on the ground as the low flying jet goes past, you will hear the "boom" as the shock wave passes you. By the way, thunder is also a variety of sonic boom produced naturally by air collapsing at nearly the speed of sound around a lightning bolt.
yes
A sonic boom is created when an object like an aircraft travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. This rapid movement causes the air molecules to be compressed and create a shock wave. When this shock wave reaches the ground, it is heard as a loud boom.
No, commercial passenger aircraft are designed to avoid creating sonic booms by maintaining subsonic speeds. Sonic booms are produced when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound (approximately 767 mph at sea level), which is not typical for commercial flights.
A sonic boom is created when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. As the object breaks the sound barrier, it creates a shockwave that produces the characteristic loud noise associated with a sonic boom. It is commonly produced by supersonic aircraft and other high-speed objects.
A sonic boom occurs when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, which is about 767 mph (1,235 km/h) at sea level. The exact speed required to create a sonic boom can vary depending on atmospheric conditions.

Most military combat aircraft can make a sonic boom, even space shuttles. The aircraft flies up to Mach 2, twice as fast as the speed of sound and can travel more than one thousands miles per hour, which is much faster than the speed of sound. A supersonic passenger aircraft can also beat the speed of sound (it is called air France the Concorde). A supersonic boat can also make a sonic boom and there are even supersonic cars the fastest land vehicle. There is a Russian supersonic bomber called the Tu-160 Blackjack and the United States has a supersonic bomber called the B-1 bomber.

Crack a whip, its tip exceeds the speed of sound.
When an object travels faster than the speed of sound in Earth's atmosphere, a shock wave can be created that can be heard as a sonic boom. Large meteors frequently produce audible sonic booms before they are slowed by the atmosphere.
The sonic boom is an artifact of exceeding the speed of sound. As any shuttle would reenter earth's atmosphere way in excessive of that speed, yes, every reentry should be accompanies by a sonic boom.
