How would I convert mph into lb-force?

Thank you.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If it's decelerating from the given mph to zero, multiply by the mass in pounds: F = MA

hmm … i don't understand either the question or the answer :confused:

what is the context? why exactly are you trying to convert a speed into a force?
 
You don't convert between these two. These are units of completely different quantities. It's like asking how to convert between feet and hours. You can't.
