Average human hand mass = 310 grams = 0.31 KG

V = mach 50 = 17150 meters per second

KE = 1/2(0.31)*(17150)^2 = 45,588,987.5 J. which is 9-A, Small Building level

If I did this wrong, please tell me.

I'm not doing the building part because buildings can vary. a lot. I know this is VERY late, but punches are calculated with the entire mass of an arm, which ais approximately 6.5% of the total body weight of a person.
