To consider this question, we must convert 65 miles per hour to feet per second. One Mile is 5280 feet, so 65 mph is 343,200 feet per hour. To convert feet per hour to feet per second, we divide by 3600 (3600 seconds in an hour), giving us 95 feet per second. The vehicle has actually traveled over 50 feet in one second.
