About Millimetres per Second
A millimetre per second (mm/s) is 10⁻³ m/s - the speed of slow industrial mechanisms and recognisable biological motion. FDM 3D printers move at 40-120 mm/s for perimeters and 150-300 mm/s for infill. Garden snails travel 0.5-1.5 mm/s; earthworms 3-5 mm/s. CNC finishing operations run 1-several hundred mm/s. Hydraulic precision slides work at mm/s for surface preparation. Ultrasound particle velocities in soft tissue are also in this range. 1 mm/s = 10⁻³ m/s.
About Mach 1
Mach 1 = the speed of sound in dry air at ISA sea-level (15°C, 101.325 kPa) = exactly 340.29 m/s (1,225 km/h; 761 mph). Chuck Yeager first exceeded it on 14 October 1947 in the Bell X-1. At 35,000 ft cruise altitude (−56.5°C), it falls to 295.1 m/s. Flight regimes: subsonic
