897 miles per hour in meters per second (897 mph to m/s)

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 897 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 897 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

897 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 897 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 400.99488 m/s

The final result is:

897 mph → 400.99488 m/s

We conclude that 897 miles per hour is equivalent to 400.99488 meters per second:

897 miles per hour = 400.99488 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 0.0024937974270395 × 897 miles per hour.

Another way is saying that 897 miles per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0024937974270395 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred ninety-seven miles per hour is approximately four hundred point nine nine five meters per second:

897 mph ≅ 400.995 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred ninety-seven miles per hour.

Conversion units

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

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.

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".
