To convert miles per hour (mph) to feet per second (ft/s), you can use the following conversion factors:
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 hour = 3600 seconds
To convert 30 mph to feet per second:
\[ 30 \text{ mph} \times \frac{5280 \text{ feet}}{1 \text{ mile}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds}} \]
Calculating this:
\[ 30 \times \frac{5280}{3600} = 30 \times 1.46667 \approx 44 \text{ ft/s} \]
Therefore, a golf cart traveling at 30 mph is moving approximately 44 feet per second.
