About these units

Running Speed (run)

Human running speeds range widely: Average jogging (2.5–3.3 m/s or 9–12 km/h), Sprint speeds (8–12 m/s or 29–43 km/h). Elite sprinters can exceed 12 m/s, with Usain Bolt's peak reaching approximately 12.4 m/s. Running is biomechanically complex, involving elastic energy return, stride mechanics, ground-reaction forces, and cardiovascular performance. Sports science uses running speed to evaluate training outcomes, optimize gait, prevent injuries, and enhance athletic performance. Running speed provides a window into human physical capability and evolutionary adaptations.

Mach (SI Standard) (Ma)

Mach is a dimensionless measure of speed relative to the speed of sound in a given medium. Mach 1 corresponds to the speed of sound, Mach 2 is twice that speed, and so on. Mach values change with temperature, atmospheric pressure, and altitude because the speed of sound changes with these conditions. Aircraft performance, supersonic flight, rocket design, and shockwave analysis all depend heavily on Mach numbers. Mach is more than just a speed measure—it categorizes aerodynamic regimes: Subsonic (Mach < 1), Transonic (Mach 0.8–1.2), Supersonic (Mach 1–5), Hypersonic (Mach > 5). Mach numbers therefore provide insight into aerodynamic behavior, not just velocity.
