About Yards per Second
A yard per second (yd/s) = exactly 0.9144 m/s - brisk jog speed, natural for American and British sports. American football wide receivers at full sprint: 10-11 yd/s; defensive backs 9-10 yd/s. Ten-pin bowling ball rolls the 20 yd lane in 2-3 s ≈ 7-9 yd/s. A sprinting cricket fielder covers the 22 yd pitch in ~3 s ≈ 7 yd/s. Racing greyhound: ~20 yd/s. 1 yd/s = 0.9144 m/s = 2.04545 mph.
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.
