The speed of sound is approximately 1,125 feet per second or 767 miles per hour in dry air at 20 degrees Celsius. This equates to roughly 0.21 miles per second.
It would take about 11.5 seconds for the sound of a lion roaring two miles away to reach your ears at the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 meters per second.
We're not sure what the "1225KP" means, since the speed of sound in air at sea levelis about 340 meters/sec.That's equivalent to about 760 miles per hour.
The speed of sound is approximately 761 mph. Multiplying this by 30 gives 22,830 mph, which is 30 times the speed of sound.
"ms" in this case is short for "meters per second". It means that sound advances that many meters every second.
Mach refers to the speed of sound in air. Typically about 750 mi/hr but it varies faster or slower with temperature from cold to hot respectively. Mach one is one times speed of sound. Mach 3 would be three times speed of sound.
