Conversion formula

The conversion factor from miles per hour to meters per second is 0.44704, which means that 1 mile per hour is equal to 0.44704 meters per second:

1 mph = 0.44704 m/s

To convert 1520 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 1520 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from miles per hour to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mph → 0.44704 m/s

1520 mph → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 1520 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 679.5008 m/s

The final result is:

1520 mph → 679.5008 m/s

We conclude that 1520 miles per hour is equivalent to 679.5008 meters per second:

1520 miles per hour = 679.5008 meters per second
