Converting from Mach number ((M)*) to Inch per second (ips)

What is Mach number ((M)*)?

The Mach number ((M)*) is a dimensionless quantity that represents the speed of an object moving through a fluid medium, such as air or water, in relation to the speed of sound in that medium. For example, a Mach number of 1 indicates that the object is moving at the speed of sound.

What is Inch per second (ips)?

Inch per second (ips) is a unit of speed that measures the distance traveled in inches per second. It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify the speed of an object.
