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 342 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 342 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

342 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 342 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 152.88768 m/s

The final result is:

342 mph → 152.88768 m/s

We conclude that 342 miles per hour is equivalent to 152.88768 meters per second:

342 miles per hour = 152.88768 meters per second
