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 5980 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 5980 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

5980 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5980 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2673.2992 m/s

The final result is:

5980 mph → 2673.2992 m/s

We conclude that 5980 miles per hour is equivalent to 2673.2992 meters per second:
