60MPH question
 

So, I figure the only stupid question is a question not asked. We all know that 60MPH is "Mile a minute" but, I am wondering how the timing changes at lets say, 65, on up, whats the mile per minute change for every +1 miles an hour?

10 0.166666667
20 0.333333333
30 0.5
40 0.666666667
50 0.833333333
60 1
70 1.166666667
80 1.333333333
90 1.5
100 1.666666667
110 1.833333333
120 2
130 2.166666667
140 2.333333333
150 2.5
160 2.666666667
170 2.833333333
180 3
190 3.166666667
200 3.333333333
210 3.5
220 3.666666667
230 3.833333333
240 4




mph mpmin

there isn't much of a change in between the increments you asked for.

Nonetheless it's Quite helpful, I've always wondered

Time = Distance / Speed

Straight Cs in math since the 6th grade. :D

Give those two responders above me gold stars. Not AMG three pointed gold stars either.....:D

Hey a C in math is a very respectable grade! :D

I prefer DISTANCE = RATE X TIME ....much easier to remember. :P

When I was younger I used to do these kind of calculations in my head as I was driving on the freeway and passing mile markers...man I'm a nerd.

I still do this. It really does prove that speeding is pointless UNLESS you have a very long trip to go on. Then the difference between 60 mph and 70 mph will begin to add up. The only trick then is maintaining the same average speed.

I'll have to take a math major around with me now, thanks.

Respect

Me too :rolleyes:

Before I had a GPS, I did the TSD calculations in my head during long trips to make sure I maintained a decent average speed... :smart:

My math scores were underwater...

...below "C" level...BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!! :P

Thats pretty funny. Mine are the same.

My math scores sucked too. I never broke 500 on the SATs. However I proudly had a 690 in reading. Odd but oh well.
