An object exceeding 25 times this value causes the surrounding gas to turn to plasma, and in air, it is increased by about .6 meters per second for every temperature increase of one degree Centigrade.
An object exceeding this quantity will experience amplified pressure perturbations explained by the Prandtl-Glauert singularity that causes a visible vapor cloud to form. For a solid, this value is equal to the square root of Young's modulus divided by the solid's density; for liquids, Young's modulus is replaced by the bulk modulus. An object exceeding 25 times this value causes the surrounding gas to turn to plasma, and in air, it is increased by about .6 meters per second for every temperature increase of one degree Centigrade. An object traveling at this speed is said to be at Mach 1. For 10 points, name this value measuring about 340 meters per second in air.
