At mach speeds, bodies get hot. Very damn hot. At hypersonic speeds and up (which includes Mach 10), the heat is so high that metal literally melts. Only a handful of experimental aircraft has reached those speeds and they can only last even 10 seconds in flight because their entire design is based around it.

If Rainbow Dash went anyhere close to that speed, she would literally become a rainbow puddle if MLP wasn't a children's cartoon. It's more believable to assume she can reach somewhere between Transonic and Supersonic speeds at absolute most.

Which granted, would still be enough to kick Emerald's ass by sheer force of science AKA Newtons, and Emerald has been hit by things much slower than Mach 1.
