Answer: Well, we know that there are 5,280 feet in one mile and 60 minutes in one hour, and 60 seconds in one minute. We can use that and do a little math and find out that at 65 miles per hour you're traveling 343,200 feet per hour. Now we can take that 343,200 and divide it by the 60 minutes in the hour and come up with 5,720 feet per minute. Again, we can take that and divide by the 60 seconds in one minute to get 95.333333... feet per second.
