Mach (20°c, 1 Atm)
Mach is a unit of speed representing the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium, typically at 20°C and 1 atm pressure.
History/Origin
Named after physicist Ernst Mach, the Mach number was developed in the early 20th century to describe speeds relative to the speed of sound, especially in aeronautics and fluid dynamics.
Current Use
Mach is widely used in aeronautics and astronautics to express aircraft and spacecraft speeds, particularly in high-speed flight and supersonic travel contexts.
Meter/second
The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled per second.
History/Origin
The meter per second has been used as a standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI) since the adoption of the SI system in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light.
Current Use
It is commonly used in physics, engineering, and everyday contexts to measure velocity, such as in transportation, aerodynamics, and scientific research.
