What is 29 miles per hour in units of m/s? 1 mile is 5280 feet, 1 meter is 3.3 feet, 1 hour is 60 minutes, and 1 minute is 60 seconds.
To convert 29 miles per hour to meters per second, we need to apply the following conversion factors:
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 meter = 3.3 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
First, we can convert 29 miles to feet by multiplying it by 5280:
29 miles * 5280 feet/mile = 152,520 feet
Next, we can convert feet to meters by multiplying by the conversion factor:
152,520 feet * (1 meter / 3.3 feet) ≈ 46,244.24 meters
Now, we need to convert hours to seconds since we want the speed in meters per second. Multiply by the conversion factors:
1 hour * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute = 3,600 seconds
Now, we divide the distance in meters by the time in seconds to get the speed in meters per second:
46,244.24 meters / 3,600 seconds ≈ 12.84 m/s
Therefore, 29 miles per hour is approximately equal to 12.84 meters per second.
