How do you convert 60 mph to fps?

[Alex]

I’m trying to convert a speed of 60 miles per hour into feet per second. Can someone show me the calculation or give the exact value?

 

[royjasika]

To convert 60 miles per hour (mph) to feet per second (fps), multiply by 1.4667, since 1 mph equals 1.4667 fps.
So, 60×1.4667=88.00260 \times 1.4667 = 88.00260×1.4667=88.002 fps.
Therefore, 60 mph is approximately 88 feet per second.
This conversion helps compare vehicle speeds or motion in physics and engineering applications.

1. 1 mile = 5280 feet
2. 1 hour = 3600 seconds
3. 1 mph = 5280 ÷ 3600 = 1.4667 ft/s
4. 60 mph = 60 × 1.4667 = 88 ft/s

Final Answer: 60 mph = 88 ft/s
