We have the following ratio:
65 miles / 1 hour
The first step is to convert the hours into seconds. We multiply this ratio by 1 hour over 3600 seconds:
(65 mi.)/(1 hr.) times (1 hr./3600 sec.)
We did this because 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds, so we're pretty much multiplying by one (which does not affect the original ratio), and making it so that we can cancel out 1 hour (since we're both multiplying and dividing by 1 hour, which is again like multiplying by 1).
65 mi. / 3600 sec.
The next step is converting miles to feet. There are 5280 feet in one mile. We do something similar to the first step:
(65 mi. / 3600 sec.) times (5280 ft. / 1 mi.)
65 mi. is not the same as 1 mi., so we cannot get rid of them so easily. If we multiply by (65/65), which is equal to 1, we can make the second ratio more compatible with the first.
(65 mi. / 3600 sec.) times (5280 ft. / 1 mi.) times (65/65)
(65 mi. / 3600 sec.) times (343200 ft. / 65 mi.)
Now, cancel 65 miles like we did in the first step:
343200 feet / 3600 seconds
There is the answer! The only problem is that there are two big numbers being divided into one another. If we simplify this ratio, it will become more clear. Notice that both the numbers can be divided by 100:
3432 feet / 36 seconds
After dividing 3432 by 36, we get approximately:
95.333 feet per second
There are 3600 seconds per hour, and 5280 feet per mile. You can use those two numbers to convert from feet per second to miles per hour. Just make sure the units are right when you are finished.
The speed is 4.1 miles per hour.
100 miles per hour = [ 146 and 2/3 ] feet per second. (You don't need to know how long the speed lasted in order to know the speed.)
1 mile per hour = 22/15 = 1.4666... feet per second (rounded, repeating)The following are exact numbers:-- 15 miles per hour = 22 feet per second-- 30 miles per hour = 44 feet per second-- 60 miles per hour = 88 feet per second-- 90 miles per hour = 132 feet per second-- 120 miles per hour = 176 feet per second
105 mph = 154 fps
To convert miles per hour to feet per second multiply by 5280 (feet in a mile) and then divide by 3600 (seconds in an hour).
205.3 feet per second at 140 mph
There are 3600 seconds per hour, and 5280 feet per mile. You can use those two numbers to convert from feet per second to miles per hour. Just make sure the units are right when you are finished.
Jesse is traveling at 154 feet per second.
62.5 miles per hour equates to 91.67 feet per second.
The speed is 4.1 miles per hour.
80.67 feet per second.
At 55 mph you are traveling 80.66 feet per second and after one hour at that speed you will have traveled 290,400 feet.
Speed or velocity can be measured in a number of units. Miles per hour, feet per second, metre per second.
Miles per hour, feet per second
100 miles per hour = [ 146 and 2/3 ] feet per second. (You don't need to know how long the speed lasted in order to know the speed.)
1,000 feet per minute is about 11.363 miles per hour.
