A baseball player throws a baseball 88 feet per second what is the speed of the pitch in miles per hour?
There are 3,600 seconds in an hour (60 seconds / minute * 60 minutes / hour). There are 5,280 feet in a mile. Therefore to convert feet / second into miles per hour, multiply by 3,600 / 5,280 (0.68) So 88 feet per second is 60 miles per hour. To go the other way (convert from miles per hour to feet per second), divide by 0.68.

How do you convert a rate of y miles per hour to x miles per second?
y miles per hour = y/60 miles per minute (60 minutes per hour) y/60 miles per minute = (y/60)/60 miles per second Take y, the number of miles traveled per hour, and divide by 3600 to get the amount of miles per second. Example: 100 miles per hour --> miles per second 100/3600 = 1/36 1/36 miles per second
What is the equivalent value of 15 kilometer per hour in miles per second?

How much force in Newtons does a baseball pitcher have to exert on a 250 g baseball to make it accelerate to 50 miles per second the instant that it leaves his hand?
Force = mass x acceleration Therefore you need to know what time it takes to accelerate the 250 gramme ball from zero to 50 miles per second. ( 50 mi/s is supersonic, did you mean 50mph?) Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) divided by time. Therefore a = (80 467.2 m.s-1 - 0) / t seconds. Therefore force (Newtons) = 0.25 kilogramme x 80 467.2 m.s-1 / t seconds. (80 467.2 metres per second = 50 miles per second) (no baseball pitcher can ever achieve that, by the way).
