convert 50 miles per hour in feetvper second(round to the nearest whole.)
50 miles/(1 hour) , -----> 1 mile = 5280 ft, 1 hr = 3600 seconds
= 50(5280) ft/(3600 seconds)
= 220/3 ft/sec
= 73.333.. ft/sec
= appr 73 ft/sec
a quick estimate of miles/hr to ft/sec is to simply multiply the given mph by 1.5
( 5280/3600) = = 1.47 or appr 1.5 )
(50 miles x 5280 feet x 1 hour x 1 minute) /
(1 hour x 1 mile x 60 minutes x 60 seconds)=
73 feet per second
To convert miles per hour (mph) to feet per second (ft/s), you need to use the following conversion factor:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 3,600 seconds
First, convert 50 miles per hour to feet per hour:
50 mph × 5,280 ft = 264,000 ft/hr
Then, convert feet per hour to feet per second:
264,000 ft/hr ÷ 3,600 s = 73.33 ft/s (rounded to two decimal places)
To round to the nearest whole number, we can round 73.33 to the nearest whole number, which is:
73 ft/s (rounded to the nearest whole)
Therefore, 50 miles per hour is approximately equal to 73 feet per second (rounded to the nearest whole number).
