How fast is a golf cart traveling 30 miles per hour in feet per second?
5,280 feet = one mile
3,600 seconds = one hour
(1 point)
To find the speed of the golf cart in feet per second, we need to convert the given speed from miles per hour to feet per second.
First, we convert 30 miles per hour to feet per hour by multiplying it by 5,280 feet:
30 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 158,400 feet/hour
Since there are 3,600 seconds in an hour, we can divide the speed in feet per hour by 3,600 to find the speed in feet per second:
158,400 feet/hour ÷ 3,600 seconds/hour = 44 feet/second
Therefore, the golf cart is traveling at a speed of 44 feet per second.
To convert miles per hour to feet per second, you need to consider the conversion factors for miles to feet and hours to seconds. Here's a step-by-step calculation:
1. Start with the given speed in miles per hour: 30 miles per hour.
2. Multiply the speed by the conversion factor for miles to feet: 30 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 158,400 feet/hour.
3. Divide the result by the conversion factor for hours to seconds: 158,400 feet/hour / 3,600 seconds/hour = 44 feet/second.
Therefore, a golf cart traveling at a speed of 30 miles per hour is traveling at approximately 44 feet per second.
To convert miles per hour to feet per second, we need to use the conversion factors:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 3,600 seconds
First, let's convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per hour by multiplying it by the conversion factor:
30 miles/hour × 5,280 feet/mile = 158,400 feet/hour
To convert the speed from feet per hour to feet per second, we need to divide it by the number of seconds in an hour:
158,400 feet/hour ÷ 3,600 seconds/hour = 44 feet/second
Therefore, a golf cart traveling at 30 miles per hour is traveling at a speed of 44 feet per second.
