Best Answer

The accuracy of any measurement depends on the care and equipment of the

individual doing the measuring, and on the condition of that equipment used.

The unit that is selected to report the result of the measurement has no

effect on its accuracy.

Convert the speed of sound 340 meters per second to miles per hour?

The other person said: 1 metre/second = 0.172603109 miles/hr ∴ 340 metres/second = 58.68505706 miles/hr Let's see why that is wrong. 1 metre/second = 60 metres/minute =3600 metres/hour 1 statute mile = 1 609.344 metres, therefore 1m/s = 3600 / 1609.344 per hour = 2.236 miles per hour therefore 340m/s = 340 x 2.236 =760.558 miles per hour Now: idiot check, do you break the sound barrier in your car when driving 59 miles per hour? No. Is the speed of sound more like 750 to 800 miles per hour (depending on the temperature)? Yes.

Why is the phrase the speed of light is 300.000 miles an hour?

Not only is the question constructed meaninglessly, but it includes a completely false statement of 'fact'. The speed of light is not 300.000 miles an hour. It's more like 300,000 kilometers per second.

How many feet per second do I travel if I am going 60 mph?

You thought fractions would never be good for anything! Forget the numbers and concentrate on the units: 60 miles -------- 1 hour What would you multiply this by to cancel the hours? 60 miles hours miles -------- x ----- = ----- 1 hour sec sec What is hours/second? There are 3600 seconds in 1 hour so hours/second = 1 hour/3600 seconds which means: 60 miles 1 hour 60 miles -------- x -------- = -------- 1 hour 3600 sec 3600 sec Now, what would you multiply miles/sec by to get feet/sec? 60 miles feet feet -------- x ---- = ---- 3600 sec mile sec What is feet/mile? There are 5280 feet in 1 mile so feet/mile = 5280 feet/1 mile which means: 60 miles 5280 feet 60 x 5280 feet -------- x --------- = -------------- 3600 sec 1 mile 3600 sec 60 x 5280 = 316800 ----------- 3600 then dived the bottom into the top and you get your answer. This works for any conversion. You just multiply the fractions that are appropriate and you end up with the answer. Sixty miles per hour works out at 88 feet per second. This question seems more like math homework then about motorcycle safety...
