Question:
If you’re flying in a plane going 500 mph, how long would it take to travel one mile?
Step-by-step explanation:
Travelling at 500mph, you'll be covering one mile in 7.2 seconds, doesn't seem so fast, right? Well, don't let a huge aircrafts size fool you, these amazing birds would leave the fastest car in the dust, at 500mph, by the time you covered one mile in 7.2 seconds, the Bugatti veyron, chiron which hits around 270mph would have covered maybe 0.5 - 0.6 miles or so, and there's another car which hit 305mph or so, the world's fastest car?! Even then, you would only cover around 0.6 - 0.7 miles
500mph = 223.52 meters per second/7.2 secs per mile
305mph = 136.34 meters per second/11.8 secs per mile
267mph = 119.35 meters per second/13.48 meters per mile
You see, there we have it! A 500mph bird is much faster than your sports car, so if anyone ever tell you that an aircraft is slow, just tell them that if 500mph is slow, than your Lamborghini or whatever you drive is a snail or is really slow.
