Question

How many feet in one second will a vehicle travel if the speed is 40 m.p.h

Answer 1

If you are moving at the rate of 40MPH, how many feet do you travel in a second? At 40 miles per hour, you are traveling 58.8 feet per second. To convert miles per hour to feet per second, multiply the miles per hour figure by 1.47. There are 5280 Feet in a mile and 3600 Seconds in an hour.

Answer 2

40 mph = 40*5280
= 201200 ft per hour
= 201200 / 3600
= 55.89 ft per second
