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 9800 miles per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 9800 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

9800 mph → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 9800 mph × 0.44704 m/s

V_(m/s) = 4380.992 m/s

The final result is:

9800 mph → 4380.992 m/s

We conclude that 9800 miles per hour is equivalent to 4380.992 meters per second:

9800 miles per hour = 4380.992 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 0.00022825880531167 × 9800 miles per hour.
