Answer: Depends on the context.

Explanation: While simply throwing a football won’t breach the sound barrier, a specialized jet can breach it easily. It all just depends on your definition of an object. Hope this helps!

Short answer no. The speed of sound is almost as fast as the speed of light, which says a lot. No mere object would have the capacity to move at such speeds in any lifetime.
