A squirrel can run at a speed of 20 miles per hour. To find out how many feet per second this is, we need to convert miles per hour to feet per second.
First, let’s break down the conversion:
- 1 mile = 5280 feet
- 1 hour = 3600 seconds
Now, we can calculate the speed in feet per second:
20 miles per hour × 5280 feet per mile = 105,600 feet per hour
105,600 feet per hour ÷ 3600 seconds per hour = 29.33 feet per second
So, a squirrel running at 20 miles per hour is moving at approximately 29.33 feet per second.
