How many miles per hour in 7.2 meters per second?

Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to miles per hour is 2.2369362920544, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 2.2369362920544 miles per hour:

1 m/s = 2.2369362920544 mph

To convert 7.2 meters per second into miles per hour we have to multiply 7.2 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to miles per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 2.2369362920544 mph

7.2 m/s → V_(mph)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in miles per hour:

V_(mph) = 7.2 m/s × 2.2369362920544 mph

V_(mph) = 16.105941302792 mph

The final result is:

7.2 m/s → 16.105941302792 mph

We conclude that 7.2 meters per second is equivalent to 16.105941302792 miles per hour:

7.2 meters per second = 16.105941302792 miles per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 mile per hour is equal to 0.062088888888889 × 7.2 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 7.2 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.062088888888889 miles per hour.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven point two meters per second is approximately sixteen point one zero six miles per hour:

7.2 m/s ≅ 16.106 mph

An alternative is also that one mile per hour is approximately zero point zero six two times seven point two meters per second.

Conversion units

The units involved in this conversion are meters per second and miles per hour. This is how they are defined:

Meter per second

Metre per second (American English: meter per second) is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds. The SI unit symbols are m·s−1, m s−1 or m/s sometimes (unofficially) abbreviated as "mps". Where metres per second are several orders of magnitude too slow to be convenient, such as in astronomical measurements, velocities may be given in kilometres per second, where 1 km/s is 1000 metres per second, sometimes unofficially abbreviated as "kps".

Mile per hour

Miles per hour (abbreviated mph, MPH or mi/h) is an imperial and United States customary unit of speed expressing the number of statute miles covered in one hour. Although kilometres per hour is now the most widely used measure of speed, miles per hour remains the standard unit for speed limits in the United States, the United Kingdom, Antigua & Barbuda and Puerto Rico, although the latter two use kilometres for long distances.
