For a fighter jet to take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier, it must reach a speed of 62 m/s. Calculate the speed in miles per hour.
Added by Katherine S.
Step 1
First, let's convert the speed from meters per second to kilometers per hour. We know that 1 meter per second is equal to 3.6 kilometers per hour. So, the speed in kilometers per hour is 62 m/s * 3.6 km/h = 223.2 km/h. Show more…

For a fighter jet to take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier, it must reach a speed of $62 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ Calculate the speed in miles per hour (mph).
The takeoff speed of a military aircraft from an aircraft carrier is approximately 170 mi/hr relative to the air. They acquire this speed through a combination of a catapult system present on the aircraft carrier and the aircraft's jet propulsion system. A common strategy is to head the carrier and the plane into the wind. If a plane is taking off from an aircraft carrier which is moving at 40 mi/hr into a 20 mi/hr headwind, then what speed relative to the deck of the aircraft carrier must it obtain to takeoff?

A speed of 60 $\mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}$ is equal to a speed of 88 $\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$. Find the speed to the nearest mile per hour of an aircraft travelling 1000 $\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$.
