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 189 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 189 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

189 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 189 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 84.49056 m/s

The final result is:

189 mph → 84.49056 m/s

We conclude that 189 miles per hour is equivalent to 84.49056 meters per second:

189 miles per hour = 84.49056 meters per second
