Did You Know a Whip Breaks the Sound Barrier?

Details

Description

This may surprise you: the first human-made object to surpass the speed of sound is… a whip! When you crack it, the tip moves at twice the speed of sound, creating a mini sonic boom. How does this happen? The whip’s design allows the energy from the handle to multiply as it travels down its length. By the time it reaches the tip, the force is so intense that it breaks the sound barrier, producing that iconic cracking sound. Just imagine the impact if you were struck by it—it’s like being hit by a tiny sonic boom!
