	Knots versus Miles per Hour
		Both miles per hour and knots is a speed which is the number of units of distance that is covered for a certain amount of time.
		To do this problem easily, one can multiply the number of miles per hour that the train is moving by the number of feet per hour that = 1 mph.
		Since the speed of sound varies with the density of air (or whatever material it is transmitted through), one needs to determine the density of the air the aircraft is flying through.

	Discovery Online, The Skinny On ... Why Toilet Bowl Water Twirls Clockwise
		The ground here is moving under the cube of air at 740 miles per hour, but the cube of air continues tooling along at 1,040 miles per hour.
		Whereas it was stationary relative to the Amazon, now it's moving east at 290 miles per hour, relative to its new home on the 45th parallel.
		It takes a mass of air many miles in diameter to demonstrate the infamous toilet twirl, and even then, Coriolis is often foiled by friction with the ground and barometric high jinks.

	Miles per hour - Wikicars
		Miles per hour is a unit of speed, expressing the number of international miles covered per hour.
		When converting miles per hour to another unit of measurement, or vice versa, it helps a lot to know exactly how miles and hours are related to other units of distance and time, respectively.
		Miles per hour is the unit used for speed limits on roads in the United Kingdom, United States and various other nations.

	Simple Gliders in the Science and Mathematics Curriculum
		To convert feet per second to miles per hour, you convert feet to miles by dividing by 5,280 and convert per second to per hour by multiplying by 3,600.
		Another way to remember this is that 60 miles per hour is 88 feet per second, or 15 miles per hour is 22 feet per second.
		The speed in miles per hour will always be less than the speed in feet per second by the same ratio, so you can convert speed in feet per second by dividing it by 22 and multiplying it by 15 to get miles per hour.

	10 MPH }{ Segway roadtrip across America }{ A Documentary Film
		10 MPH is a comical documentary that follows a pair of aspiring filmmakers as they quit their jobs and turn a friend's ludicrous idea into a movie.
		The impulsive purchase of a two-wheeled Segway scooter sets this story in motion when the two friends decide to travel from Seattle to Boston at 10 MPH in an attempt to change their lives forever...
		What ensues is a road trip like none other with a haphazard cast of characters you could only find on a zany 100-day trek through America's back roads.

		Using the MMT Observatory in Tucson, AZ, astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) are the first to report the discovery of a star leaving our galaxy, speeding along at over 1.5 million miles per hour.
		This incredible speed likely resulted from a close encounter with the Milky Way's central fl hole, which flung the star outward like a stone from a slingshot.

		Sayres found that the needle of his water speedometer was banging against the pin on every run and the speedometer was calibrated to 150 miles per hour.
		This is a bigger engine than the jet used by Donald Campbell in setting his world water record of 225.63 miles per hour in the Bluebird, and Jones sees no problem in getting the speed up to 300 miles per hour.

	Speed Limit Enforcement
		The maximum speed limit is 65 miles per hour on rural interstates, 55 miles per hour on interstate highways near or in major cities and on other highways, and 30 miles per hour in an urban area unless some other speed restriction is established.
		Bail for speeding more than 20 miles per hour over the posted limit, but not more than 30 miles per hour over the posted limit, is $95 cash or in lieu of such amount, his/her current Illinois driver's license or an approved bond certificate.
		Bail for speeding more than 30 miles per hour over the posted speed limit is $105 cash or in lieu of such amount, his/her driver's license or an approved bond certificate.

	NPWRC :: Migration of Birds
		One often hears stories of birds flying "a mile a minute." While undoubtedly some birds do attain this speed, such cases are exceptional; and it is safe to say that, even when pressed, few can develop an air speed of 60 miles per hour.
		A sustained flight of 10 hours per day in still air would carry herons, hawks, crows, and smaller birds from 100 to 250 miles, while ducks and geese might travel as much as 400 to 500 miles in the same period.
		A fairly uniform average distance of 30 to 35 miles per day is maintained from the Gulf to Minnesota, but a week later this species has reached the central part of the Mackenzie Valley, and by the following week it is observed in northwestern Alaska.

	Is it possible to reach speeds greater than 100,000 miles per hour in space? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although 100,000 miles per hour (156,200 kilometers per hour) sounds like a rather fast speed by race car standards, it amounts to only 27 miles per second or 43 kilometers per second.
		Spacecraft destined for the outer planets such as Voyager and Galileo have to reach speeds of 30,000 to 40,000 miles per hour (8 - 11 miles/sec or 13 - 17 kilometers/sec), and just recently in its impact with the Jovian atmosphere, the Galileo spacecraft achieved a speed of over 100,000 miles per hour.
		There is no physical speed limit until we reach the speed of light at 300,000 kilometers/sec or 691 million miles per hour.

	Karl's Calculus Tutor - Box 2.0: Rates
		So when the rate of the care is, say, 60 miles per hour, that means miles traveled divided by the hours it took to travel those miles is going to be 60.
		Likewise, if you divide miles by miles per hour, you expect the answer to be in hours.
		If you do units conversion using this method of multiplying by something that is identical to the number 1, but is a fraction with the new units on top and the equivalent value of the old units on the bottom, the old units will always cancel, and you'll always get the right answer.

		A torpedo is a missile sent underwater from a ship to destroy another ship and the speed is probably not too high - maybe 100 mph or so.
		A tornado (which I think is the same thing as a "twister") can have internal wind speeds of up to 300 miles per hour (from vague recollections, not from an authoritative source), but they move along the ground much slower - maybe 50 mph or so?
		Hurricanes are much bigger, but their wind speeds max out at around 130 mph I think.

	Mount Washington Observatory – The Story of the World Record Wind
		During a wild April storm in 1934, a wind gust of 231 miles per hour (372 kilometers per hour) pushed across the summit of Mount Washington.
		It is incredibly difficult and dangerous to climb atop a building in winds greater than 180 miles per hour, all to be sure an anemometer is free from rime.
		The fact that the 1934 Observatory crew could accurately measure a wind of this magnitude, during a period of very heavy glaze icing, is a tribute to their planning and engineering acumen, as well as to their commitment to establishing and maintaining this remote scientific outpost.

	Paradox Unbound: 3 Miles Per Hour
		According to Demographia, a Web Site run by libertarian Wendell Cox, in 1998 population density in the region was 3,416 people per square mile, far short of the City-wide population density of 7,975 people per square mile.
		If people endure 20 mile commutes in order to cling to rent-controlled apartments, they probably work outside the City (even people who live in Rampart are much closer to Century City than that).
		The commuter hours need to be expanded on the additional right hand lane (say on Sunset, for example) so it's not just 7 AM to 9 AM but 6 AM to 10 AM and later in the afternoons as well.

		In a river where the current is 5 kilometers per hour, it takes her 4 hours longer to row a given distance upstream than to travel the same distance downstream.
		Her speed relative to the shore will only be 5 kilometers per hour because the force of the current, which is flowing at 5 kilometers/hour, slows her rate by

	NOT YOUR GRANDPA'S SHOOTIN' IRON: Rail Guns
		Tests conducted at the University of Canberra were able to accelerate a 16-gram projectile down a 5 meter barrel at 250,000 gravities, for a muzzle velocity of 5,900 meters per second.
		Loosely translated, that's an acceleration from 0 to 13,000 miles per hour in the span of 0.2 seconds, not bad even for Superman.
		The fact that rail guns and directed-energy weapons do not require powders or explosives will free magazine space for strike and other mission areas (the trade-off is that surface ships will need to generate massive amounts of electric power to support them).
