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 3980 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 3980 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

3980 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3980 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1779.2192 m/s

The final result is:

3980 mph → 1779.2192 m/s

We conclude that 3980 miles per hour is equivalent to 1779.2192 meters per second:
