Question

NFL quarterback Patrick mahomes threw a pass that clocked 62mph. How fast is this in yards per second?

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of the pass that clocked is  30.31 yards per seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed of the pass = 62 miles per hour

Let The speed in yards per second = x yps

So, ∵ The speed = 62 miles per hour

Or, The speed = $\dfrac{\textrm 62 miles}{\textrm 1 hour}$

or,  The speed = $\dfrac{\textrm 62 miles}{\textrm 3600 secons}$

∵ In 1 hour = 3600 seconds

So, The speed = 0.0172 miles per second

Now, Again

Since 1 mile = 1760 yards

So, 62 miles = 1760 × 62 = 109,120 yards

∴ The speed in yard per second = $\dfrac{\textrm 109,120 yard}{\textrm 3600 seconds}$

I.e The speed in yards per second = 30.31 yards per seconds

Hence The speed of the pass that clocked is  30.31 yards per seconds Answer
