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 479 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 479 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

479 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 479 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 214.13216 m/s

The final result is:

479 mph → 214.13216 m/s

We conclude that 479 miles per hour is equivalent to 214.13216 meters per second:
