mph to m/s Converter

Meters per Second (m/s):

Usage Instructions:

Objective: Convert speed from miles per hour to meters per second.

Steps:

  1. Enter Speed: Input the speed in miles per hour (mph).
  2. Click "Convert to m/s": Press the button to convert the speed to meters per second.
  3. View Result: The converted speed in meters per second will be displayed below.

To convert miles per hour (mph) to meters per second (m/s), you can use the following conversion factor:

1 mile per hour = 0.44704 meters per second

Conversion Formula

m/s = mph × 0.44704

Example Conversions

Here are some examples to illustrate the conversion:

Miles per Hour (mph) Formula Meters per Second (m/s)
10 mph 10 × 0.44704 4.47 m/s
20 mph 20 × 0.44704 8.94 m/s
30 mph 30 × 0.44704 13.41 m/s
40 mph 40 × 0.44704 17.88 m/s
60 mph 60 × 0.44704 26.82 m/s

How to Convert mph to m/s

  1. Identify the Value in mph: For example, 50 mph.
  2. Apply the Conversion Formula:
    • Multiply the number of miles per hour by 0.44704.
    • For 50 mph:
      • Calculation: 50 × 0.44704 = 22.35 m/s

Practical Uses

  • Speed Measurement: Useful for converting speeds between different units of measurement, especially in scientific and engineering contexts.
  • Velocity Analysis: Helps in understanding and comparing velocities in different measurement systems.

Summary

To convert miles per hour (mph) to meters per second (m/s), multiply the number of miles per hour by 0.44704. For example, 30 mph is approximately 13.41 m/s, and 60 mph is about 26.82 m/s. This conversion is useful for translating speeds between the imperial and metric systems.
