  • Convert mph to fps: Calculate Speed in Feet per Second
    Here's how to convert miles per hour (mph) to feet per second (fps):

    1. Convert miles to feet:

    * There are 5280 feet in one mile.

    2. Convert hours to seconds:

    * There are 3600 seconds in one hour (60 minutes * 60 seconds).

    3. Set up the conversion:

    * (60 miles/hour) * (5280 feet/mile) * (1 hour/3600 seconds)

    4. Simplify:

    * (60 * 5280) / 3600 feet/second

    * ≈ 88 feet/second

    Therefore, a car traveling at 60 mph is traveling at approximately 88 feet per second.
