About Feet per Second and Miles per Hour
One foot per second equals approximately 0.6818 miles per hour (88 ft/s = exactly 60 mph — a handy mental shortcut). Feet per second is the standard unit for muzzle velocity in American ballistics and firearms. Sports radar guns measure baseball pitches in mph but physics equations use ft/s. Race cars and projectiles are often analyzed in ft/s for precise calculations, then converted to mph for communication. Police radar guns and speed measurement equipment in the US display mph but may use ft/s internally.
