Introduction & History of the Bill of Rights. The original Constitution, as proposed in 1787 in Philadelphia and as ratified by the states, contained very few individual rights guarantees, as the framers were primarily focused on establishing the machinery for an effective federal government.
There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour; 60 * 60 = 3,600 seconds in an hour. 3,600 / 45 seconds = 80. And to cross-check: 80 mph * 5,280 feet in a mile = 422,400 feet per hour / 60 = 7,040 feet per minute / 60 = 117 1/3 feet per second * 45 seconds = 5,280 feet in 45 seconds.
A car passing a vehicle thatâs traveling at 50, gains 14.7 feet per second if he/she is doing 65. That would be 3.7 seconds. So apparently, for every 10 mph over the speed limit, you halve the time it takes to pass. But the difference between 55 and 65 is 3.7 seconds. Someone better check that math. Oh, and of course this doesnât factor in that the person youâre trying to pass probably speeds up a little bit as soon as you start to pass.
