Mach (Si Standard)
The Mach number is a dimensionless unit representing the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium.
History/Origin
Named after the Austrian physicist Ernst Mach, the Mach number was introduced in the early 20th century to describe supersonic and hypersonic speeds, initially used in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics research.
Current Use
The Mach number is widely used in aeronautics and astronautics to specify aircraft and spacecraft speeds relative to the local speed of sound, especially in high-speed flight regimes.
Millimeter/second
Millimeter per second (mm/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one millimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The millimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small-scale velocities, especially in fields like fluid dynamics and material science, as a standard unit derived from the metric system.
Current Use
Today, mm/s is commonly used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications to quantify low velocities, such as in microfluidics, biomechanics, and precision manufacturing.
