4.Withdistanceandtimedetermined,calculategroundspeed:
4.1.Rateinseconds:Dividedistance(100ft(30.5m))bytime(5seconds)=20ft/sec(6.1m/sec).
4.2.Convertsecondstohour:Multiply20ft/sec(6.1m/sec)by3600(thenumberofsecondsinanhour)=
72000ft/hour(21960m/hour)
4.3.ConverttoMPH:Divide72000ft/hourby5280(numberofftin1mile)=13.64miles/hour
