Mach number to speed of light converter (mach to c)

Conversion Formula

1 mach = 1.14e-6 c

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Mach number = 343.200 meters per second
   1 Speed of light = 299,792,458 meters per second
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mach = (343.200 m/s) / (299,792,458 m/s/c) = 1.14e-6 c
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mach by 1.14e-6 to get the equivalent in c

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mach to c:

5 mach × 1.14e-6 = 5.72e-6 c
