Conversion Formulae
Miles Per Hour to Metres Per Second Conversion Formula
The conversion formula for miles per hour to metres per second is quite simple:
1 mph = 0.44704 m/s
This can be calculated by taking the conversion factor for miles to metres (1609.34), thus 1 mile per hour equates to 1609.34 metres per hour. Then divide by the number of seconds in and hour (3600) 1609.34/3600 = 0.44704.
Metres Per Second to Miles Per Hour Conversion Formula
The conversion formula for m/s to mph is simply the reciprocal of the miles per hour to metres per second formula:
1 m/s = 2.236936 mph approximately
To calculate this value take the conversion factor for metres to miles (1/1609.34 = 0.000621371 approx). Thus 1 metre per second equals 0.000621371 miles per second, so then multiply 0.000621371 x 3600 to get the metres per second to miles per hour conversion.
