How to Convert 800 FPS to MPH
Two factors, distance and time, create speed. Distance is the amount traveled by an object, gauged through units of length such as the foot and the mile, and time is the duration of the trip, measured by units of time such as seconds, minutes and hours. Two of the ways that speed is measured is feet per second (fps) and miles per hour (mph). You can convert a speed of 800 fps to an equivalent speed in mph through the relationships of the units for time and distance.
