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 162 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 162 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

162 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 162 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 72.42048 m/s

The final result is:

162 mph → 72.42048 m/s

We conclude that 162 miles per hour is equivalent to 72.42048 meters per second:

162 miles per hour = 72.42048 meters per second

Alternative conversion
