1. What was the first man made thing that broke the sound barrier?

Explanation

The whip is the correct answer because when a whip is cracked, it creates a small sonic boom that breaks the sound barrier. This occurs because the tip of the whip moves faster than the speed of sound, causing a sudden change in air pressure and resulting in the cracking sound. Therefore, the whip was the first man-made object to break the sound barrier.
