Best Answer

Mach 1 is the speed of sound, which is 343 meters per second, or 343 m/s. Mach 8 is 8 times faster than the speed of sound .

8 X 343 2,744 m/s or 2.74 km/s

What is mach 8?

Mach 8 is a unit of speed equal to 8 times the speed of sound. At sea level and room temperature, the speed of sound is approximately 761 mph (1,225 km/h). Therefore, Mach 8 would be around 6,088 mph (9,800 km/h).


What is the Mach of Airbus A380?

Maximum speed: Mach 0.96Operating speed: Mach 0.89


How fast is Mach 1 Mach 2 Mach 3 Mach 4 etc to the fastest Mach level on record?

The mach number is the speed, compared to the speed of sound in air. Thus, mach 1 is the speed of sound, mach 2 is twice (2 times) the speed of sound, mach 3 is 3 times the speed of sound, etc.

What is mach in airplane testing?

The "Mach number" is the speed of the aircraft as a percentage of the speed of sound. So an aircraft going at Mach 0.74 is traveling at 74% of the speed of sound. (Mach 0.74 is a typical airliner speed.)


What is the next speed after mach?

Mach 2.


How many miles per hour is mach 8?

Mach is not an absolute speed but a relative speed. The Mach value of an object is the ratio of the speed fo the object travelling through a medium to the speed of sound travelling through the same medium. Now sound travels faster in denser mediums so the speed of sound in [dense]air at sea level is greater than the speed of sound at high altitude. So Mach 2 in the air at sea level is faster than Mach 2 at high altitude. But Mach 2 under water is very much faster. However, most people are ignorant about the proper meaning of Mach and assume that it is simply related to the speed of sound at sea level at normal temperature/pressure/humidity - approximately 760 miles per hour. In that case Mach 8 would be 6080 mph.


Is Mach a measurement of speed?

No, Mach is a unit of speed used to measure an object's speed relative to the speed of sound in the medium through which it is traveling. For example, Mach 1 is the speed of sound.


What does Mach 25 mean?

Mach refers to the speed of sound, for example, mach 1, equals the speed of sound, mach 2, the speed of sound times 2. So, mach 25 would mean, 25 times the speed of sound.


What is faster then Mach 1?

Speeds faster than Mach 1 are measured in multiples of Mach, such as Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound), Mach 3 (three times), and so on. Each Mach number represents the speed of an object in relation to the speed of sound.


What speed is 0.72 Mach?

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.
