What is Meter per second?

The meter per second is the SI base unit of speed, representing a distance of one meter traveled in one second. It is the standard unit used in physics textbooks and scientific papers worldwide. In everyday life, wind speed is commonly reported in meters per second, and severe weather warnings use this unit to define storm intensity. The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 m/s, and the speed of light is about 300 million m/s.

What is Mach?

The Mach number is the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound. Named after physicist Ernst Mach, Mach 1 equals the speed of sound, approximately 340 m/s in standard atmosphere. It is primarily used in aerospace: the Concorde cruised at Mach 2.04, and modern fighter jets are rated by their maximum Mach number. Exceeding Mach 1 produces a sonic boom. For conversion purposes, this tool uses the standard atmosphere speed of sound at sea level (15 degrees Celsius), which is 343 m/s.
