Hypervelocity refers to extremely high speeds, typically defined as speeds exceeding 1,000 meters per second (about 3,280 feet per second), or approximately Mach 3, depending on the context. In various fields, hypervelocity has specific implications: 1. **Aerospace and Engineering**: In aerospace engineering, hypervelocity is often associated with the motion of objects re-entering the atmosphere from space, such as spacecraft and meteoroids.
