Dude read the ******* blog post, the calculation I put into the wiki is NOT THE SHOCKWAVE CALCULATIONI'm referring to the shockwave part below, buddy. You calculated the mass of the air, 945.914844kg.
You then put it into the KE formula, 1/2 * m * v^2. For V you used 370m/s (just under baseline supersonic) and 465m/s. Even ignoring the speed issue... that's not how you calculate shockwaves.
If you REALLY wanted to use the shockwave part for AP you could potentially get the radius and then use the ground-based explosion formula while changing the overpressure but it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
and I only asked if this would class as a shockwave to Jason Sith I linked a calculation Cloudyagami made before
