When to Use Each Unit

Mach: Standard for describing aircraft speed, rocket velocity, and any application involving supersonic motion.

Meter-per-second: Universal standard for scientific speed measurements, physics calculations, and engineering applications worldwide.

Common Conversion Values

  • Mach 1 ≈ 343 m/s (at 20°C)
  • Mach 1 ≈ 1,235 km/h
  • Mach 1 ≈ 767 mph
  • Mach 1 ≈ 667 knots

About Number

Definition: Mach number expresses speed relative to the speed of sound, approximately 343 m/s at sea level and 20°C.

History: Named after Austrian physicist Ernst Mach. Developed for aeronautics to describe supersonic flight capabilities.

Current Use: Standard for describing aircraft speed, rocket velocity, and any application involving supersonic motion.

Examples: Subsonic aircraft: Mach 0.7-0.9, supersonic jets: Mach 1.5-3.0, spacecraft: Mach 25+, bullets: Mach 2-4

About Meter

Definition: The meter per second (symbol: m/s) is the SI unit of speed, expressing distance traveled in meters during one second.

History: Natural derivative of the meter and second SI base units. Became standard for scientific velocity and speed measurements.

Current Use: Universal standard for scientific speed measurements, physics calculations, and engineering applications worldwide.

Examples: Walking: 1.4 m/s, running: 5-10 m/s, cycling: 5-15 m/s, sound in air: 343 m/s
