About meters per second and mach
The Conversion Formula
To convert meters per second to mach, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 m/s = 0.00291545 Ma. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 m/s to mach: 25 × 0.00291545 = 0.0728863 Ma. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 0.00291545, or equivalently multiply by 343.
About meters per second
Meters per second (m/s) is the scientific standard for velocity. It is an SI derived unit. It is the language of physics, from ballistics to aerodynamics. The speed of light itself is defined exactly in these units (299,792,458 m/s). It is rarely used for road speeds but is standard for wind speed in meteorology outside the US. meters per second are commonly used in Physics calculations, Wind speed (Scientific), Projectile motion, and Sprinter speeds, Industrial machinery.
A typical human walking speed is about 1.4 m/s.
About mach
Mach number is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound. Named after Ernst Mach, 'Mach 1' is the speed of sound. It varies with temperature and altitude. It is the language of supersonic flight and high-speed aerodynamics. mach are commonly used in Fighter jets, Rockets and missiles, Supersonic transport, and Space shuttle re-entry, Aerodynamic testing.
A commercial airliner cruises around Mach 0.8.
When Would You Convert meters per second to mach?
Converting between meters per second and mach is one of the most common speed conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 m/s = 0.00291545 Ma) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
