How many feet a second does a car travel at 100mph?

Answer 1

To convert miles per hour to feet per second, you can use the conversion factor that 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet and 1 hour is 3,600 seconds. Therefore, at 100 miles per hour, a car travels at:

[ 100 \text{ mph} = 100 \times \frac{5280 \text{ feet}}{1 \text{ mile}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds}} \approx 146.67 \text{ feet per second}. ]

So, a car traveling at 100 mph moves at approximately 146.67 feet per second.
