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 538 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 538 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

538 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 538 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 240.50752 m/s

The final result is:

538 mph → 240.50752 m/s

We conclude that 538 miles per hour is equivalent to 240.50752 meters per second:

538 miles per hour = 240.50752 meters per second
