The average car had a top speed of around 125 to 130 mph.
130 mph increased by 15% is: an increase of 19.5 mph to new speed of 149.5 mph
130 + 10% = 130 x (1 + (10/100)) = 143 miles per hour.
Yes, but any faster and you'll eventually hit the car in front of you?
Divide the distance travelled by the speed...
130 km per hour = 80.7783 mph
It would be 130 mph
130 mph is equal to approximately 209 kilometers per hour.
55 mph. If the car stops (impact) people inside are still moving at 55 mph. They will hit the inside of the car- at 55 mph. That has the same effect as if you were standing still, and were hit by a car moving 55 mph. Messy. Wear your seatbelt.
Put it this way... Would you rather get hit with a car going 70 MPH, or a car going 5 MPH?
Divide distance by time to find velocity: 130 ÷ 2.5 = 52 mph
130 knots = 149.6 mph
