0,72 Mach is a subsonic speed. Mach number = speed of an object/speed of sound The speed of sound in dry air at 20 0C is 1 236 km/h.
That means the speed, compared to the speed of sound. For example, "mach 2" means twice the speed of sound.
Mach 1 is the speed of sound. 768 miles per hr. Mach 2 is twice that & so on.
Match1? No clue. But you are probably referring to MACH 1, which is the speed of sound in air, roughly 340 m/s depending on air temperature. Mach 2 would be twice the speed of sound, mach 3 three times, etc.
The Mach number for the speed of an object travelling through a particular medium is the ratio of the object's speed relative to the speed of sound through the same medium. The speed of sound through any medium depends on the nature and density of the medium and, as a result, so does the Mach number. In air, the Mach ratio is mostly dependent on temperature and humidity, less so on altitude. Generally, Mach 1 (in air, at standard sea level conditions, and at 15 deg C) is approx 760 mph. So Mach 3 would be approx 2280 mph. But Mach 3 in water, for example, would be much faster since sound travels faster in water.
