Mach Number Worksheet
- Use the definition of Mach number obtained from the Lift
Coefficient slide (with text) and the information in the activity
to determine the speed of a jet at Mach 3. ______________.
- Convert the speed of sound units of mph to km/hr.
____________________.
- Let's find the Mach number of some interesting jets. The
maximum speed of the jets listed can be found on the World Wide
Web. Use the data to fill in the speeds, then compute and fill in
the Mach numbers in the table below.
