Way OT Speed conversion

[julie at menloparkrandd.com (julie@menloparkrandd.com)]

5280 feet in a mile Therefore:
5280/90=58.6666
1.5s*58.6666=88 seconds to the mile or 1 minute 28s This does not include drag or friction, nor an accelleration curve for the object. 
I may have had FAR too much coffee and candy as well as tired to do the math, but Big Mac? Got an awnser?
