Unit Information

Meter per second (m/s)

Definition

The meter per second (symbol: m/s) is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity). It is defined as the distance in meters traveled divided by the time in seconds. It is the base unit of speed in many scientific systems.

Current Use

The meter per second is used globally in scientific, engineering, and technical contexts. It is the primary unit for velocity in physics and is used to define other derived units such as the force of a Newton or the energy of a Joule.

Mach number (M)

Definition

The Mach number (symbol: M) is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound. Mach 1 represents the speed of sound, which varies with temperature and the medium it travels through.

Current Use

Mach number is used primarily for aircraft and projectiles traveling at high speeds. It helps define flight regimes such as subsonic (M < 1.0), transonic (0.8 < M < 1.2), supersonic (M > 1.0), and hypersonic (M > 5.0).
