40mi /hr = 40*1.6 km/hr = 40*1600/3600m/s
or 640/36 or 160/9 m/sec

An object traveling at 40 miles per hour is traveling at 0.0111 miles per second.
I took 40 and divided it by 60 (minutes in an hour) to find miles per minute, and divided that number by 60 (seconds in a minute) to arrive at miles per second.

It is simple conversion of units from FPS to SI
Mile=5280ft=5280*12inches=5280*12*2.54cm=5280*12*2.54/100meters=1609.344 meters=1.609344km
Therefore 40miles/hr=40*1.609344km/hr=64.373km/hr

In an hour it would travel 40 miles, which is just over 64KM (1.6KM to the mile), so 64000M per hour or 1066.7M per minute (divide by 60) or 17.8m per second(divide by 60 again) .

40 miles per hour
64000 metres per hour (1600 metres per mile)
17 7/9 metres per sec (3600 second in an hour)

40 mi / hr = 40 * 1,609.3 m / 3,600 s = 64,372 m / 3,600 s = aprox. 17.8811 m /s

1 mile is 1609.344 meters
1 hour is 3600 seconds
So this is 40 *1609.344/3600 = 17.88 meter/second

1 mile= 1609.344meters
1hour=60minutes
1minutes=60s
40miles/hr*(1hr/60min)*(1min/60s)(1609.344m/1mi)=17.8816m/s
