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 473.7 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 473.7 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

473.7 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 473.7 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 211.762848 m/s

The final result is:

473.7 mph → 211.762848 m/s

We conclude that 473.7 miles per hour is equivalent to 211.762848 meters per second:
