About Kilometres per Hour

A kilometre per hour (km/h) = 1/3.6 m/s - the universal road speed unit across most of the world. Walking pace ~5-6 km/h; jogging 9-12 km/h; elite marathon runners average 20-21 km/h. High-speed rail (TGV, Shinkansen, ICE) 250-350 km/h; TGV record 574.8 km/h. Category 5 hurricane ≥252 km/h; Thrust SSC land speed record 1,228 km/h (Mach 1.02). 1 km/h = 0.2778 m/s = 0.6214 mph = 0.5400 kn.

About Mach 5

Mach 5 ≈ 1,701.45 m/s (6,125 km/h) at ISA sea level - the conventional supersonic/hypersonic boundary. Above Mach 5, stagnation temperatures exceed 1,500°C, air dissociates around the vehicle, and ablative thermal protection becomes mandatory. Space Shuttle re-entered at Mach 25; Soyuz capsules at Mach 27; ICBM warheads at Mach 15-25. NASA X-43A scramjet reached Mach 9.6 (air-breathing record, 2004). 1 Mach 5 = 1,701.45 m/s.
