Ever wonder?
speed of sound at sea level = 340.29 m / s
Mach number (Ma) (pronounced: [mæk], [mɑːk]) is defined as a ratio of the speed of an object or flow relative to the speed of sound in the medium through which it is travelling:
vo/vs
where
vo is the speed of the object and
vs is the speed of sound in the medium
In other words, Mach is the number of times the speed of sound something goes.
vo/vs
where
vo is the speed of the object and
vs is the speed of sound in the medium
In other words, Mach is the number of times the speed of sound something goes.
