Conversion formula

The conversion factor from miles per hour to feet per second is 1.4666666666667, which means that 1 mile per hour is equal to 1.4666666666667 feet per second:

1 mph = 1.4666666666667 ft/s

To convert 7200 miles per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 7200 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from miles per hour to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mph → 1.4666666666667 ft/s

7200 mph → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 7200 mph × 1.4666666666667 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 10560 ft/s

The final result is:

7200 mph → 10560 ft/s

We conclude that 7200 miles per hour is equivalent to 10560 feet per second:

7200 miles per hour = 10560 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 9.469696969697E-5 × 7200 miles per hour.
