25714 miles per hour (approximately)

1) We need to convert some units when tackling this question.

2) We can write out the following using the speed formula:


\begin{gathered} s=(d)/(t) \\ s=(100)/(14) \end{gathered}

Note that 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds. So we can write this for the time:


s=(100)/((14)/(3600))=100*(3600)/(14)=100*(1800)/(7)=25714.28\text{mph}

So, 100 miles in 14 seconds is equivalent to approximately 25714 miles per hour
