Mach number ((M)*) to Speed of light (s) converter

Converting from Mach number ((M)*) to Speed of light (s) in Speed

What is Mach number ((M)*)

The Mach number measures an object's speed relative to the speed of sound in a particular medium. A Mach number of 1, denoted as "M=1," represents the speed of an object traveling at the speed of sound.

What is Speed of light (s)

The speed of light is a fundamental constant in physics, denoted as "s." The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Mach number ((M)*) to Speed of light (s), use the following formulas:

  • s=M×0.000001135085

  • M=0.000001135085s​

Examples

  1. Converting from Mach to Speed of light:

    • 5 ((M)*) = 0.000005675426 (s)
    • 5 (s) = 4404955 ((M)*)

  2. Another example conversion:

    • 3 ((M)*) = 0.000003405256 (s)
    • 3 (s) = 2642973 ((M)*)

  3. Yet another example conversion:

    • 17 ((M)*) = 0.00001929645 (s)
    • 17 (s) = 14976850 ((M)*)

Use this information to perform conversions between Mach number and the speed of light.
