  1. 1 Mach = 0.343 km/s
  2. 1 × 0.343 = 0.343 km/s

How to convert mach to kilometers per second

1 Mach = 0.343 km/s, so multiply by 0.343 to go from Mach (at 343 m/s) to kilometers per second. Going the other way, 1 km/s = 2.91545189504 Mach.

km/s = Mach × 0.343
Mach = km/s × 2.91545189504

Worked example:

1 Mach = 0.343 km/s
5 × 0.343 = 1.715 km/s

About the units

Mach (Mach)
Mach (at 343 m/s), a specialised unit. Mach 1 is the local speed of sound, which depends on air temperature; this converter uses 343 m/s (dry air at 20 °C). In the standard sea-level atmosphere (15 °C) it is 340.3 m/s. Definition: Speed of sound in dry air at 20 °C: 343 m/s (NASA Glenn Research Center).
Kilometers per Second (km/s)
Kilometers per second, a metric unit. Definition: BIPM SI Brochure, 9th edition (SI units, prefixes and units accepted for use with the SI).
