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 979 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 979 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

979 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 979 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 437.65216 m/s

The final result is:

979 mph → 437.65216 m/s

We conclude that 979 miles per hour is equivalent to 437.65216 meters per second:

979 miles per hour = 437.65216 meters per second
