Mach is a unit of speed that represents the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium. Mach 1 is equal to the speed of sound, approximately 343 meters per second (or about 1,125 feet per second) in dry air at sea level and room temperature.
To calculate the speed of Mach 10,000, we need to multiply the speed of sound by 10,000. Assuming the speed of sound remains constant at 343 meters per second, the speed of Mach 10,000 would be:
Speed = Mach number * Speed of sound Speed = 10,000 * 343 m/s Speed ≈ 3,430,000 meters per second
In other units, the approximate speed of Mach 10,000 would be roughly 10,646,564 feet per second or 7,460,853 miles per hour. It's important to note that these are approximate values since the speed of sound can vary depending on factors such as altitude, temperature, and humidity.
