To determine how long it takes to travel 1 foot at a speed of 100 miles per hour, we need to convert the units to a consistent measurement system.
First, let's convert 100 miles per hour to feet per hour. Since there are 5,280 feet in a mile, we can calculate:
100 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 528,000 feet/hour.
Now that we have the speed in feet per hour, we can calculate the time it takes to travel 1 foot.
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 1 foot / 528,000 feet/hour
Simplifying, we find that it takes:
Time = 1 / 528,000 hours
Converting to minutes or seconds, we have:
Time = (1 / 528,000) * 60 minutes/hour = 0.0001136 minutes
To convert to seconds, multiply by 60:
Time = 0.0001136 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 0.006816 seconds.
Therefore, it takes approximately 0.006816 seconds to travel 1 foot at a speed of 100 miles per hour.
