Question

What is the average speed (miles/hour) for an object going 1500 feet in 1 minute. Round answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

there are 3600 seconds per hour

5280 feet per mile

1 foot per second = 3600/5280 = 0.681818 Miles per Hour

60 seconds per minute

so 1500/60 = 25 feet per second

25 x 0.681818 = 17.05 miles per hour
