Calculation process of conversion value

1 speed of sound = `(342.603648550333) / (3.94)` = 86.955240748815 running speed
1 running speed = `(3.94) / (342.603648550333)` = 0.011500169413465 speed of sound
? speed of sound × `(342.603648550333 ("m/s"/"speed of sound")) / (3.94 ("m/s"/"running speed"))` = ? running speed

High precision conversion

If conversion between speed of sound to metre-per-second and metre-per-second to running speed is exactly definied, high precision conversion from speed of sound to running speed is enabled.

Since definition contain rounded number(s) too, there is no sense for high precision calculation, but if you want, you can enable it. Keep in mind, that converted number will be inaccurate due this rounding error!

Details about speed of sound and running speed units:

Convert Speed of sound to other unit:

speed of sound

Definition of speed of sound unit: ≡ (1.4 x 286 x (20+273.15) )^-2. Speed of sound in the air. But this speed varies between 295-340 m/s depending on the air temperature and pressure. From the NASA formula I calculated the speed on sea level at 20°C.

Convert Running speed to other unit:

running speed

Definition of running speed unit: ≈ 800 m / 3' 23". Running speed can be very variable, depending on several factors. As a basis for calculation, I calculated average young adult men's 800 metres long run time as defined by topendsport.com. This time is on average 3 minutes and 23 seconds. From this, the running speed is 3.94 m/s (about 14.2 km/h).
