In physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to break free from the gravitational attraction of a massive body. The escape velocity from earth is about 40,270 km/h (25,020 mph).
Mach number (Ma or M) is the speed of an object moving in air, divided by the speed of sound at that particular conditions, including temperature and pressure. At Standard Sea Level and temperature 15 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound is 761.2 miles per hour (mph) = 340.3 meters per second (m/s) = 1225 km/h = 1116 foot per second (ft/s) = 661.5 knots (kn, kt or kts).
