How fast is shrapnel?
Could you elaborate on the velocity of shrapnel? Is it measured in terms of meters per second, or perhaps there's a more specific metric tailored to the nature of shrapnel's explosive dispersion? Is there a range of speeds that shrapnel fragments can reach, depending on the type of explosive or the distance from the blast? Additionally, how does the speed of shrapnel compare to other forms of projectiles, such as bullets or artillery shells?

How fast is mach 10?
Could you please clarify for me the exact meaning of "mach 10" in this context? Are you referring to the speed of sound, which is often referred to as "Mach 1", multiplied by ten? If so, Mach 10 represents a speed that is ten times faster than the speed of sound in a particular medium, such as air. The actual speed of Mach 10 can vary depending on the conditions of the medium, but in general, it is an extremely high speed. Could you tell me more about why you're interested in Mach 10, and how it relates to your current area of research or interest?
