Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 21P
While at the seashore, you observe an airplane that is flying at 10,000 ft. You hear the airplane 8 seconds after it passes directly overhead. Estimate the airplane speed and Mach number. If the airplane had been flying at 30,000 ft, how many seconds would have passed before you heard it?

A jet fighter plane travels in horizontal flight at Mach 1.20 (that is, 1.20 times the speed of sound in air). At the instant an observer on the ground hears the shock wave, what is the angle her line of sight makes with the horizontal as she looks at the plane?
A high-flying jet cruising at 3000km/hr displays a Mach Number of 3.2. What is the speed of sound and the temperature of the air at that altitude?
On October 3, 1967, pilot William J. "Pete" Knight set a world record that still stands to this day for the fastest flight by a crewed, powered aircraft by flying the North American Aviation X-15 as fast as Mach 6.7 at an altitude of 102,000 ft above sea level. Mach number is the ratio of an object’s velocity to the local speed of sound. Using the table for atmospheric properties with respect to altitude, calculate the speed of sound at an altitude of 100,000 ft. What must have been the velocity of the X-15?
