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 and, to a lesser extent, on altitude.
Generally, Mach 1 (in air, at standard sea level conditions, and at 15 deg C) is approx 1223 kmph. So 3400 kmph would be approx 2.8 Mach. But 3400 kmph in water would be a very much lower Mach number.

Mach 2.
Mach 1 is 761.21 mph.Use this equation to convert Mach to miles per hour: mach x 761.21 = mph
The Mach number for speed is a function of how fast an object is going relative to the speed of sound in that medium (which can vary). The speed of sound at sea level is around 768 mph, so Mach 3.3 at around this level will be 768 x 3.3 = 2534 mph
Mach 1 is the speed of sound.
Speed = distance traveled / time taken speed = 49 / 3.5 = 14 kmph (kilometers per hour)
