The problem of the "sound barrier" has to do with moving through
air, and the things the air does when you try to push it out of the
way faster than the speed of sound. Moving through air faster
than sound was an engineering and technological problem, not
a scientific one.
Concerning light, that's about 874 thousand times faster.
See the problem ?
Given:
F = 39 N, the force applied
t = 2 s, the time interval in which the force is applied.
By definition, the impulse is

Answer: 78 N-s
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion and Hook's law.
By Hook's law we know that force is defined as,

Where,
k = spring constant
x = Displacement change
PART A) For the case of the spring constant we can use the above equation and clear k so that




Therefore the spring constant for each one is 11876.92/2 = 5933.46N/m
PART B) In the case of speed we can obtain it through the period, which is given by

Re-arrange to find \omega,



Then through angular kinematic equations where angular velocity is given as a function of mass and spring constant we have to




Therefore the mass of the trailer is 4093.55Kg
PART C) The frequency by definition is inversely to the period therefore



Therefore the frequency of the oscillation is 0.4672 Hz
PART D) The time it takes to make the route 10 times would be 10 times the period, that is



Therefore the total time it takes for the trailer to bounce up and down 10 times is 21.4s
That is meters per second, same as velocity.
