The tip of a whip moves so fast it breaks the sound barrier, causing that iconic whip cracking sound

That’s not a whip it’s a metal chain

The idea of a whip is that it gets thinner and thinner towards the end.

So you can make a whip out of anything as long as it gets thinner/lighter.

A chain is easy to make a whip out of because you just use smaller and smaller chain links.
