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 480 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 480 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

480 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 480 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 214.5792 m/s

The final result is:

480 mph → 214.5792 m/s

We conclude that 480 miles per hour is equivalent to 214.5792 meters per second:

480 miles per hour = 214.5792 meters per second
