Way OT Speed conversion



Hi Erik,
   
  Unless my conversions (which I checked against a conversion website to verify), this car was going 40.9 mph.

Hello all. I have a question for the brains of the list. How do I know the MPH of a given object knowing the weight, amount of power, and time traveled a certain distance? Any takers?

Six ounce object.

8 Newtons of force

90 feet traveled in 1.5 seconds

Yes this was a solid fuel rocket powered car. It was "modified" with the largest motors we could find on a sunday in London Ohio.

Cheers,

Erik
