The foot per second (plural feet per second) is a unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity, which includes direction). [1] It expresses the distance in feet (ft) traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds (s). [2] The corresponding unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the meter per second.
The foot per second squared (plural feet per second squared) is a unit of acceleration. [1] It expresses change in velocity expressed in units of feet per second (ft/s) divided by time in seconds (s) (or the distance in feet (ft) traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds (s) squared).
The fastest automobile in 2015 was the Porsche 918 Spyder, which is a hybrid vehicle that takes 2.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. [2] [3] In June 2021, the Tesla Model S Plaid was measured to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.98 seconds, not including first foot of rollout.
For orbital altitudes and above, that is, direct exposure to space, 6–8 seconds of consciousness is expected. [2] ... (22,000 ft; 6,700 m) 10 minutes 5 minutes
The Centers for Disease Control states when you look down to text or read a text for five seconds at 55 miles per hour, it is the same as driving across a football field without looking at the ...
One nonillionth of a second. rontosecond: 10 −27 s: One octillionth of a second. yoctosecond: 10 −24 s: One septillionth of a second. jiffy (physics) 3 × 10 −24 s: The amount of time light takes to travel one fermi (about the size of a nucleon) in a vacuum. zeptosecond: 10 −21 s: One sextillionth of a second.
Police in Australia said a woman was forced to fend off a deadly tiger snake in her vehicle while driving 50 miles per hour on a freeway outside Melbourne.
In this example, a speed of 50.0% of terminal speed is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90%, 15 seconds to reach 99%, and so on. Higher speeds can be attained if the skydiver pulls in their limbs (see also freeflying). [3]
