he did this by breaking the sound barrier (also known asthe sound of speed)
the gravitional pull from the heavy object was making it fall to the ground faster and at a more radical speed
The first date of ice skating has been lost in the annals of history. There have been crude ice skate found in Finland from about 4,000 years ago. For more history, read the link below.
It had great maneuverability and speed due to its light weight which made voyages faster. It was powered by sails(lateen-rigged) which allowed it to(head-to-wind) sail closer to the wind which made it easier to get into windward ports or docks. Being smaller and having a shallow keel,it could sail upriver in shallow caostal waters.
Some ancient cities had limits to the speed horses and chariots could move within those cities. Usually walking pace, which is about four mile per hour. This was also the case in some countries when engine driven vehicles were introduced. Someone had to walk in front of the vehicle with a flag or lantern.
Charles Yeager was the first person ever to pilot an aircraft beyond the speed of sound.
pilot an aircraft faster than the speed of sound
Chuck Yeager is the first person to fly faster than sound (breaking the sound barrier), or MACH 1, on October 14, 1947 during level flight at an altitude of 45,000 ft.
On October 14, 1947, Chuck Yeager became the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound or MACH 1. He accomplished this in the rocket powered aircraft X-1 developed by Bell Aircraft Company.
Chuck Yeager
It was referred to as breaking the sound barrier.
There was not a special name for the first flight that went faster than the speed of sound. However, when a plane does go faster than sound, it said to be traveling at supersonic speeds.
Actually, transonic speed is not a speed faster than that of sound. Transonic speed is approx. Equal to the speed of sound, not faster.
