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 7200 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 7200 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

7200 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 7200 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 3218.688 m/s

The final result is:

7200 mph → 3218.688 m/s

We conclude that 7200 miles per hour is equivalent to 3218.688 meters per second:

7200 miles per hour = 3218.688 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.00031068559611867 × 7200 miles per hour.

Another way is saying that 7200 miles per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00031068559611867 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven thousand two hundred miles per hour is approximately three thousand two hundred eighteen point six eight eight meters per second:

7200 mph ≅ 3218.688 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times seven thousand two hundred miles per hour.
