About these units
Foot/Second (ft/s)
The foot per second is an imperial speed unit used in engineering, ballistics, aviation, and certain sports sciences. It expresses the number of feet traveled per second. Ballistics experts use ft/s to measure bullet velocities and projectile speeds, particularly in countries with strong imperial-unit traditions. Engineers may use ft/s in fluid flow calculations or mechanical system design when working with legacy data. Although ft/s is rarely seen in daily life, it remains relevant in niche disciplines where imperial units dominate, offering a smaller, more precise scale than mph.
Mach (20°C, 1 atm) (Ma (20°C))
At 20°C and 1 atmosphere, the speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s, making Mach 1 = 343 m/s under those conditions. Mach numbers classify aerodynamic regimes: Mach 0.3–0.8 (Subsonic), Mach 0.8–1.2 (Transonic), Mach 1–5 (Supersonic), Mach 5+ (Hypersonic). Temperature influences Mach speed significantly; colder air slows sound, while warmer air increases its speed. Aircraft design, jet engines, wind tunnels, aerospace testing, and atmospheric re-entry physics all rely heavily on Mach numbers referenced to standard conditions.
