Shock Wave Theory (newtonian dynamics)

Shock Wave Theory in Newtonian dynamics describes how waves are created when an object moves through a medium, like air or water, at speeds exceeding the speed of that medium's wave propagation. This results in a sharp, sudden change in pressure and density, producing a "shock wave." Commonly seen in supersonic aircraft, these waves cause a loud sound, known as a sonic boom. Essentially, shock waves represent a rapid transition between different states of pressure and temperature, highlighting how fast-moving objects interact with their surroundings.
