Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We need to convert 60.0 mi/hr to ft/sec. 
First, we need to convert miles to feet by multiplying it by 5,280.

60.0 mi/hr × 5,280 ft/mi = 316,800 ft/hr

To get the answer in feet/sec, we need to further divide the above value by 3,600 (since there are 3,600 seconds in an hour).

316,800 ft/hr ÷ 3,600 sec/hr = 88 ft/sec

Therefore, the answer is B) 88.0 ft/sec.
