About these units

Walking Speed (walk)

The average human walking speed is about 1.2–1.4 m/s (4–5 km/h), though this varies with fitness, terrain, age, and purpose. Walking is an energy-efficient mode of locomotion optimized through millions of years of evolution. Humans unconsciously adjust stride frequency, step length, and posture to maintain stability and minimize metabolic cost. Urban planning, pedestrian-safety engineering, and architecture all use walking-speed estimates to design sidewalks, crosswalk timing, and public transportation access. Walking speed is not merely a physical measure—it reflects physiology, psychology, and cultural context.

Mach (20°C, 1 atm) (Ma (20°C))

At 20°C and 1 atmosphere, the speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s, making Mach 1 = 343 m/s under those conditions. Mach numbers classify aerodynamic regimes: Mach 0.3–0.8 (Subsonic), Mach 0.8–1.2 (Transonic), Mach 1–5 (Supersonic), Mach 5+ (Hypersonic). Temperature influences Mach speed significantly; colder air slows sound, while warmer air increases its speed. Aircraft design, jet engines, wind tunnels, aerospace testing, and atmospheric re-entry physics all rely heavily on Mach numbers referenced to standard conditions.
