How to Convert MPH to Feet Per Second
Converting miles per hour to feet per second is useful for physics and understanding velocity. One mph equals approximately 1.46667 feet per second.
To convert mph to fps, multiply by 1.46667. For example, 60 mph x 1.46667 = 88 fps. This conversion helps understand speeds in more tangible units for reaction time and distance calculations.
This is commonly used in automotive safety, sports, and physics education.
Quick Tips
- 1 mile = 1.609 km (miles are bigger)
- 1 kg = 2.205 lbs (roughly double + 10%)
- Temperature: (°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C
