Explanation / Answer

Typical walking speed

Around 5 km/hr =1.39 m/s = 3.12 mph = 4.56 ft/s

Typical Bicycle speed

16-24 km/hr = 4-7 m/s =10-15 mph = 14-22 ft/s

Automobile highway speed

128+ km/hr =35+m/s = 80+ mph = 116+ ft/s

Cessna 172

230 km/hr = 63.89 m/s =142.92 mph = 209.61 ft/s

Boeing 737

852 km/hr = 236.667 m/s = 529.41 mph = 776.47 ft/s

Space shuttle orbiting speed

305-531 km/hr =84-148 m/s = 190-330 mph = 277-484 ft/s

Speed of sound at sea level

1225.05 km/hr = 340.29 m/s = 761.21 mph = 1116.44 ft/s
