if a 357. magnum bullet was travelling at 1400 feet per second(fps) how many miles per hour(mph) would that equal?

thank you

would you all stfu and just help the guy. 
why aren't you all in school for anthropology? or biology? or chemistry or physics? how about you all go and learn all those things you don't know, 'cause like DUHHH you don't know them!
(or do you only do so much for math? the most useless subject in logic, in existence. "hi guys, i need to answer an arbitrary question that any computer can compute, so let's just solve some arbitrary math questions...whoa fun!" applied math = useless. informal logic is literally the only effective use of math for a layman. blowwwww hhharrrrds)
it'll be more useful than math, considering computers can rip a math a teacher a new one, these days...not to mention any mathematician.
don't be such blow-hards.

i just thought i'd expand on the point a little bit. expecting everyone to know everything is stupid. expecting someone to know just about anything is a faulty premise, because not anyone can know everything. it's simple.
fuck if i know much math because i quit school....i think the notion is absurd to expect someone to know such a futile concept...it's interesting...it's almost as if math might just be an extremely fun thing to do- from what i can see, most mathematicians would say if you don't enjoy math, then don't be a mathematician. it's a thing of beauty...it's a thing of fun & enjoyment...it's important to be able to apply logic to any situation, as a given, but not every situation that can be put into mathematical equation needs be put into such a manner.
there are different subsets of logic. math is one of the most difficult, and most useless to the layperson.
mathematicians whom are worth their salt probably would agree with me. just sayin'. i don't like that fuckin' attitude like "you don't know that! go back to school!"
and what? waste my fuckin' time?
shit like that really gets my goat.

I used to kick ass in math class, falling asleep through most days and still acing the tests. the thing is though i was still doing the material and i was just blessed with better retention because of my youth.
now it's a "use it or lost it" type situation with me. i reteach myself algebra every few years, usually in jail, and im always amazed at how its like an alien language each time i come back to it.
im trying to make it a habit of practicing it now so i don't have to go through that cycle and hopefully one day ill make it to the higher Maths. I use KhanAcademey to brush up. did some practice yesterday actually. Math is fun, for real. I actually have more trouble with conversions and decimals than i do with the more "advanced" stuff.

Yeah but he asked a middle school level math question...like damn, it's 2017 now, he's already on the internet, thus 2 clicks away from learning absolutley anything he wants.

i've been reading, periodically, The Mathematical Experience- a book on the philosophy of math, in general. lots of different subjects. i love the concept- being that i am the worst mathematician ever, i still glean quite a bit from even the philosophy of math; maybe not so much from practice, but i try when i can...heck, that last math thread in the pub, i gave it a spin, and was pretty well spot on, i just couldn't explain it (which was half-the fun, obviously).
i suck at rote performances, that's probably my worst quality. but computing new information, that's different. i'm pretty good at it. so there's a...erm...a balance there. at some point the logic of rote mathematics breaks down for me...but certain concepts are infinitely intriguing if you're into it.
it's basically a mix of symbolic computation and fact of coordinating that logic through said symbols that i'm dyslexic (practically) about- it's easy to understand why...i didn't scan that shit by rote until i cemented it into my brain. it's difficult to retain such knowledge because, c'mon, it's nothing but symbols put into a logical formation (equations). it's not easy. why people act like it is, is beyond me- it kinda defeats the notion of how mathematics are so complex. to boil it down to easy answers is besides the point (or rather, not the only point)- so why expect people to be able to just come up with easy solutions to things they haven't pondered before in a language that's unknown to them?
i could easily ask of people to speak for me Ndebele, and just cuss at them when they couldn't, just the same...it's stupid. i've expounded on this long enough....

get with what program? the fact that he could have Googled it? or the whim of aiming to retain decades old knowledge that only pertains to specific situations you're liable to never come across?

lol, i am being open and honest about it. 
what the fuck am i trying to cover up? can you write an academic article that would pass for publication?
unless you can, you should shush.
you guys don't know set theory in logic? boy, retards.
must be some dumb asses to not know a language you've never studied. go back to school and waste your time learning it for the sake of...nothing.

LOL and did you publish any in any journal? cause otherwise, that retarded shit doesn't count...some teacher, or student, claiming it's worthy of publication =/= not necessarily something that's worthy publication. worthy is a relative term but, the fact is, if you haven't published one, how would you know? you wouldn't. ta-da!

good for you. oh man, great job, you've really made a good point. (PS: that's also funny as fuck that you felt the need to justify your nigging me. LOL)
blow-hards are hilarious to me.
trying to understand a language without knowing the words, as Wittgenstein might say, is like a trying to teach a dog cat. but you can't live with that standard. you need people to literally think like you (and take the same classes, remember things like you, find order of importance like you) in order to be respected.

However, I don't know what the fuck "angle of sight" is in relation to this graph. Is it firing at a target uphill?

In this case yes, the target's elevation is hiring that that of the firing position and is not visible. Once the variables such as you and your target's Azimuth/elevation, projectile of choice, weather conditions/temperature, angle of sight, obstructions and elevation requirements, you can then determine your angle of fire and propellant charge required to hit your target. Usually 3 rounds are then fired to "adjust for fire". We could usually hit a truck with a 96lb rocket assisted 155mm round around 18.5 miles away in under 3 shots

i never learned exponents in school, i quit school, like Bill Gates (WOOOO YA!), but when i learned the meaning of 'exponents' and how to infer from the symbols of computation that are given with exponents, i was like "well, i'll be...that's fuckin' easy.".
but i had to learn it first.
let's all go back to school and learn EVERYTHING. cause we need to, right?
right blow-hards? or no? you don't need to learn everything? then what does one NEED to learn, and for what occasions? oh of course no one will want to discuss this...it'll betray the blow-hardedness of the notion of having to know anything.

thanks guys for the answer
i think thats neat to know a .357 is travelling @ 1000 mph
and most rifle bullets are twice as fast or faster
a 5.56 NATO round clocks in around 2900-3100 fps
im decent at realtively simple math in my head but i never made it far in real school or very far in algebra for that matter
i havent been in school for literally almost 20 years

still no response? no retort that actually addresses what i'm saying here^?
no? probably not. because you'd have to explain how you could be so illogical.
and i've never felt the need to justify myself in anything. i already stated that i suck at math, and that it's reasonable to do so, and how that is so- i never said it's justified to not know math. that's your derped assumption. in fact, i only stated how interesting it is as a subject.
but i can still call you some who is full of himself...aka, the term Blow-Hard seems to suffice.

did i assume your research work is useless, petulant child?
no i didn't. i said wasting your life at school is worthless. did i say that you were wasting your life at school? no i didn't. stop wasting my time and just admit that you foolishly made like ten different faulty assumptions, and that you're trying to appear smart for the sake of the fact that you 'know math'.
ooooooo, so smart! yet can't make a logical inference worth a damn in any informal setting. man, you sure are slow.
tired and cranky, maybe, but not slow!
and it's the internet too...

4 years out of maybe 75+ years of my life at school.
Wasting your time?? just turn of your computer, you time waster.
No more from me, you'd best go to your room and think about what you just said, you little rascal

and actually, for the record, since i have to explain this now. i'd say that it sucks not knowing math. it's annoying enough to come and ask a stupid math question, without people jumping down your throat for it. you need language to help explain any sort of mathematics, any sort of proposition- and people can be really good at language, without needing to know math.
so why be such dicks about it? i had fun in this thread. bloodsheen was like "see this is why i nigged akira, my experience is sooo much better" (LOL). and trees was like "you're invalidating my time by statements of fact that fly over my head! i'm confused!"

and how long is that knowledge going to persist...(i recall a certain someone discussing retention early in this thread- but fuck it, i guess we have to cover that again)
how useful is what you've learned and how long is going to be geared towards knowledge? how long will that learning endure, because it is overshadowed by new information?
don't jump down the guys throat because he didn't go to school, you big meany head. (we have another word for that i think, but i'd probably get banned.)
he isn't 75 years old and wasting his time. he doesn't need to be. he never needed to be. you just can take your pedantry and shove it.

so now that a simple thread where someone asked for help was given the asshole "go back to school" treatment (even after the fact of being given the answer- and all together nothing ever being said to help OP to even want to go back to school) -- how does everyone feel?
better about themselves?

Anyone who worked this out themselves probably used a calculator rather than fucking around with long division or whatever, because truly doing the calculations manually would be a senseless waste of effort to achieve more unreliable results.
These days though we have better calculators (e.g. Google) that can just take "1400 feet per second in miles per hour" and spit out the answer. No need even to recall the number of feet in a mile.
Similar conversions in metric ditch a lot of the unnecessary complication and trivia memorization, with the seconds-to-hours part being the only thing that isn't just a matter of moving a decimal point. Switching out traditional time measurements for a decimal alternative would solve this but it's unlikely to happen.

I started practicing algebra today because of this thread. I been meaning to "ban" myself from visiting unproductive parts of the internet.
Like someone else said earlier, there really is a plethora of information out there on a huge variety of subjects. I feel like if i spent all the time i use on video games and shit-posting on self-educating instead, i'd be happier.
If i get in at least a couple hours a day its a start. imo.
I just finished a section on dividing decimals and then some basic algebra equations and im not as lost as i thought i'd be. when i do get an answer wrong, which doesnt happen often so far(its still on basics though) its usually because of a slight mistake i made in my arithmetic.

Good luck in your endeavors.
What's another way of wishing someone well without using the word "luck" or any of its synonyms?

From simple math to complex language, this symposium of idiological simpsonesk retardation on a website built on unity of thought and expression of meaning truly highlights the simplistic ape like culture we find ourselves in.

it's just what shit is gonna happen man.
when we reach the point of having the ability to impart out consciousness' into computers and process AI that imparts information at hyperspeed cognitions of real-time and future/past-time, we will reach critical mass, and everything will ...will be destroyed...
