60 mi/h, what is the speed in feet per second
mile = 5,280 feet
hour = 360 seconds
60 mph = 60 (5,280)/360 = 5280/60 = ?
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
1 mile = 5,280 feet
5,280 / 60 = 88 feet per minute
60 seconds = 1 minute
88 / 60 = ?? feet per second
Ms. Sue's answer is for 1 mph. It still needs to be multiplied by 60 for 60 mph.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
To calculate the speed in feet per second, you need to convert miles per hour into feet per hour and then into feet per second.
Step 1: Convert miles to feet
Since there are 5,280 feet in a mile, multiply the speed in miles per hour by 5,280 to get the speed in feet per hour.
In this case, 60 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 316,800 feet/hour.
Step 2: Convert hours to seconds
Since there are 3,600 seconds in an hour (60 minutes * 60 seconds), divide the speed in feet per hour by 3,600 to get the speed in feet per second.
In this case, 316,800 feet/hour / 3,600 seconds/hour = 88 feet/second.
Therefore, the speed of 60 miles per hour is equivalent to 88 feet per second.
