feet per second to Mach number
Please provide values below to convert feet per second [ft/s] to Mach number [Mach], or change ↔.
feet per second [ft/s]
Definition: Feet per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed, representing the distance traveled in feet per unit of time in seconds.
Historyandorigin: This unit has been used historically in the imperial measurement system, particularly in the United States.
CurrentUse: It is often used in engineering, physics, and in contexts where smaller distances and shorter time intervals are relevant.
funfact: The speed of light is approximately 983,571,056 feet per second!
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!

How to Convert feet per second to Mach number
1 feet per second [ft/s] = 0.0008886297 Mach number [Mach]
1 Mach number [Mach] = 1125.3281181 feet per second [ft/s]
we use cross multiplication method
feet per second [ft/s] → Mach number [Mach]
1 → 0.0008886297
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0008886297=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0013329446
