About the Feet Per Second

Facts & Uses

  • 1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s exactly. Used in US engineering, ballistics, and some sports analytics where small instantaneous velocities matter.
  • Standard for projectile velocities: rifle bullets 2000-3000 ft/s, handgun rounds 800-1500 ft/s, arrow speeds 250-350 ft/s.
  • Used in baseball pitch tracking, wind speed measurements in some US engineering contexts, and fluid flow calculations.
  • Convenient because of the simple ratio: 1 mph ≈ 1.467 ft/s, so 60 mph = 88 ft/s exactly — the highway speed-to-stopping-distance reference.

Curiosities

  • 60 mph = 88 ft/s exactly because 1 mph = 5280/3600 ft/s = 22/15 ft/s, and 60 × 22/15 = 88. A useful mental conversion for US drivers.
  • The speed of sound in dry air at 20 °C is about 1125 ft/s — used in lightning distance estimation (every 5 seconds = 1 mile).
  • A Major League Baseball fastball at 100 mph reaches the catcher's mitt at 146 ft/s — leaving the batter only ~0.4 seconds to react to the pitch.
  • Approximate equivalents: 1 ft/s ≈ 0.3048 m/s ≈ 1.097 km/h ≈ 0.682 mph.

About the Mile Per Hour

Facts & Uses

  • 1 mph = 1.609344 km/h exactly = 0.44704 m/s. The speed unit for road vehicles in the US, UK, and a handful of other countries.
  • US speed limits: residential 25-35 mph, urban arterial 35-45 mph, highway 55-75 mph (some Texas roads 85 mph — highest in the US).
  • Used in baseball (pitch speeds 70-105 mph), tennis (serve speeds 100-160 mph), golf ball speeds off the tee (150-180 mph).
  • Reference: walking ≈ 3 mph, jogging 5-6 mph, cycling 10-15 mph, highway 60-75 mph, commercial jet cruise ~570 mph.

Curiosities

  • The mile is defined via the international yard (0.9144 m exactly), so 1 mph = 1609.344 m / 3600 s = 0.44704 m/s exactly — a clean conversion despite the imperial origin.
  • The Indianapolis 500 averages around 220-230 mph; Formula 1 cars reach 230+ mph on long straights at Monza and Spa.
  • The Concorde cruised at Mach 2.04 ≈ 1354 mph — the only commercial supersonic aircraft to operate scheduled passenger service (1976-2003).
  • Approximate equivalents: 60 mph ≈ 96.56 km/h ≈ 26.82 m/s ≈ 88 ft/s ≈ 52.14 knots.
