Explanation:

When a bullet is fired from a rifle, the actual firing makes a distinctive sound, but people at a distance may hear a second because the bullet creates a shock wave , a little sonic boom( speed of this sonic boom is greater than the speed of sound). It is this sound only that is heard by the people at a distance from the gun.

A scientist heard a flexible container full of neon gas. What will be likely to happen to the container as the gas absorbed heat
Doss [256]
