The time it takes a vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h or 27 m/s), often said as just "zero to sixty" or "nought to sixty", is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the rest of the world, 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) is used.
Miles per hour (mph, m.p.h., MPH, or mi/h) is a British imperial and United States customary unit of speed expressing the number of miles travelled in one hour.It is used in the United Kingdom, the United States, and a number of smaller countries, most of which are UK or US territories, or have close historical ties with the UK or US.
The ride begins with a 30-mile-per-hour (48 km/h) linear synchronous motor (LSM) launch out of the station and around a wide left turn followed by a gradual dip before approaching the second launch. The second launch accelerates riders to their top speed of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) before climbing a 102-foot (31 m) figure-eight element (also ...
There are 8 states that have 65 miles per hour (105 km/h) speed limits. Hawaii has the lowest maximum speed limit, with its freeways and Saddle Road being signed at up to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h). There is mixed evidence of the 1995 repeal's effect on fatalities.
The world record for longest distance run continuously is held by Dean Karnazes, who ran 563 km (350 miles) in 80 hours 44 minutes without stopping. In the absence of significant external factors, non-athletic humans tend to walk at about 1.4 m/s (5.0 km/h; 3.1 mph) and run at about 5.1 m/s (18 km/h; 11 mph).
The train’s speed hit the 60 miles per hour mark during filming. That might seem crazy to film on, but for Cruise it’s just another day on the set of a “Mission: Impossible” movie.
On Sunday, the system was a tropical storm with sustained winds of 60 miles per hour. Just 24 hours later, its wind speeds had leapt to 175 miles per hour, far above the Category 5 threshold of ...
The Minnesota Drive Expressway features a 60-mile-per-hour (97 km/h) speed limit, as does the Richardson Highway between Fairbanks and North Pole. Since the mid-1990s, Alaska's major highways have gradually been upgraded from 55 mph to 60 or 65 mph. However, several continue to carry the default 55 miles per hour (89 km/h) speed limit, including:
