Just for fun, what is the formula to find the miles per hour of from feet per second? Also, how many feet are there in a mile? |

one of us
| 5280 feet per mile 60 seconds per minute 60 minutes per hour 1 MPH= 5280 feet/3600 seconds=1.4666666fps 1 fps=360/5280=0.681818 MPH 1100fps=750MPH=Mach 0ne |

Vibe has it right: 5280 ft. per statute mile 3600 x 5280 = 19008000 ft hr 19008000 ft hr / 5280 ft = 3600 mph 5280/3600 = 1.4666667 = (constant) or 3600/5280 = 0.6818181 = (constant) so muzzle velocity/1.4666667 (constant) = mph or muzzle velocity x 0.6818181 (constant) = mph 1100 fps/1.4666667 = 750 mph. or 1100 fps x 0.6818181 = 750 mph Of course that does not take into consideration drag and gravity.
