Moving Object Relative to Sound Speed Calculator

getcalc.com's Mach Number (Ma) Calculator is an physics tool to calculate the speed of an moving object relative to its speed of sound in the surrounding medium, in both US customary & metric (SI) units.

Definition & Formula

Mach Number, often denoted by the Ma, is a measure of physical quantity that represents the speed of an moving object relative to its speed of sound in the surrounding medium. The value of Mach number 0.5, 1 & 2 represents the speed of an object is half, equal or twice the speed of the sound of surrounding medium.
