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 2642 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 2642 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

2642 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2642 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1181.07968 m/s

The final result is:

2642 mph → 1181.07968 m/s

We conclude that 2642 miles per hour is equivalent to 1181.07968 meters per second:
