  5. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    At 0 °C (32 °F), the speed of sound in dry air (sea level 14.7 psi) is about 331 m/s (1,086 ft/s; 1,192 km/h; 740 mph; 643 kn). [1] The speed of sound in an ideal gas depends only on its temperature and composition. The speed has a weak dependence on frequency and pressure in dry air, deviating slightly from ideal behavior.

    0.51444 metres per second (approximately), 1.15078 miles per hour (approximately), 20.25372 inches per second (approximately) 1.68781 feet per second (approximately). The length of the internationally agreed nautical mile is 1 852 m. The US adopted the international definition in 1954, having previously used the US nautical mile (1 853.248 m). [6]

  7. Speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_Light

    The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant that is exactly equal to 299,792,458 metres per second (approximately 300,000 kilometres per second; 186,000 miles per second; 671 million miles per hour).

  9. Wind speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_speed

    In the United States, the wind speed used in design is often referred to as a "3-second gust", which is the highest sustained gust over a 3-second period having a probability of being exceeded per year of 1 in 50 (ASCE 7-05, updated to ASCE 7-16). [18]
