About the units
- Mach
- Mach 1 is the speed of sound in air, taken here at sea level in the ISA standard atmosphere at 15 °C, about 340.294 m/s (1225.06 km/h). The speed of sound drops as air gets colder at altitude.
- Mile per hour
- Covering one international mile (1609.344 m) in one hour, exactly 0.44704 m/s. It is used on roads in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Some factors are rounded to the values given by the official references.
Questions about this tool
How many miles per hour are in one Mach?
1 Ma = 761.216 mph.
How do I convert Mach to miles per hour?
Use mph = Ma × 761.2159718. For example, 25 Ma = 19,030.4 mph.
How many Mach are in one mile per hour?
1 mph = 0.00131369 Ma.
How do I convert km/h to m/s in my head?
Divide by 3.6, because an hour is 3600 seconds and a kilometer is 1000 meters. For example 72 km/h is 20 m/s; multiply by 3.6 to go back.
Why do Mach values differ between sources?
The speed of sound depends on air temperature. We use 340.294 m/s at sea level and 15 °C; at 11 km altitude it is about 295 m/s, so Mach 1 is slower there.
