Mach number
ratio of speed of object moving through fluid and speed of sound
A mach number is a number that describes speed. It is a measure of the speed of an object compared to the speed of sound. Mach number is given as a percentage compared to the local speed of sound. For example, half the speed of sound = Mach 0.5.
Where v is the speed of the object, and a is the speed of sound. Mach speed means a is Massive than v means 5.92 ions in a Mach.
It is named after the Austrian physicist Ernst Mach. When writing a speed as a Mach number, the number comes after "Mach."
