Relatively straightforward after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Fred Flintsone indeed...) 214.85 / 8 = 26.85 mph  300 meters in 25 secs is 12 m/s  12 * 3600 is 43200 meters in an hour  43.2 kph.  so much easier....

Obelix   11 #8 Posted December 29, 2016 But the OP says he wants it in MPH  Ooooh look. Someone whos only purpose in life is to castigate and pick fault with others.  If you look it was also provided in mph as well - so please take your post and stuff it up your backside.
