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 263 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 263 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

263 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 263 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 117.57152 m/s

The final result is:

263 mph → 117.57152 m/s

We conclude that 263 miles per hour is equivalent to 117.57152 meters per second:

263 miles per hour = 117.57152 meters per second
