Mach number to knots
Please provide values below to convert Mach number [Mach] to knots [kt], or change ↔.
Mach number [Mach]
Definition: The Mach number is a dimensionless unit that measures the speed of an object relative to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium.
Historyandorigin: Named after physicist Ernst Mach, it is used to describe the speed of objects in air and other gases, particularly in aviation and space travel.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in aerospace engineering to describe the velocity of aircraft, spacecraft, and other objects moving at high speeds.
funfact: A Mach number of 1 means an object is traveling at the speed of sound, while Mach 2 means it's traveling at twice the speed of sound!
knots [kt]
Definition: A knot (kt) is a unit of speed used in aviation, maritime, and meteorological contexts, equal to one nautical mile per hour.
Historyandorigin: The unit originated with sailors, as it was based on the distance traveled over the earth's surface measured in nautical miles.
CurrentUse: It is used in aviation and maritime navigation to measure speed, and also in meteorology for wind speeds.
funfact: One knot is equal to 1.852 kilometers per hour or 1.15078 miles per hour!

How to Convert Mach number to knots
1 Mach number [Mach] = 666.73849087 knots [kt]
1 knots [kt] = 0.0014998384 Mach number [Mach]
we use cross multiplication method
Mach number [Mach] → knots [kt]
1 → 666.73849087
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*666.73849087=1*x
by simplifying
x=1000.1077363
