How do you convert 100 miles per hour into feet per second?

Answer 1

100 miles per hour traveled in feet is 100 times 5,280 feet or 528, 000 feet traveled in one hour. There are 60 minutes in one hour and 60 seconds in a minute; so to find the amount of seconds in an hour; sixty is squared to reveal 3600 seconds in an hour. To then find feet per second; 528,000 must be divided by 3600. To simplify the process; two zeros can be removed from both factors leaving 5,280 to be divided by 36; the answer being 146.66 feet; therefore anything traveling 100 miles in one hour or more commonly stated 100 miles per hour at a constant rate will travel 146.66 feet in one second along the way.
