Given:
60 miles per hour
Change to feet per second.
Solution:
In order to change miles per hour to feet per second, we simply need to do the general conversion method.
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 hour = 3600 seconds
= ( 60 miles/hr)(5280 feet/1mile)(1 hr/3600 s)
The unit miles/hr cancel
= 316,800 ft /3600s
= 88 ft/s
Final answer:
= 88 ft/s
