There are several steps involved when miles per hour is converted to metres per second. The conversion is quick and different methods can be used to solve the conversion. Mile per hour is one of the unit of the speed and it is equal to 1.690344 kilometres per hour. Metres per unit is stated as the base unit for measuring the velocity or the speed. It is one of the unit related with the international system of units. For example: what would be 100 mph be in m/s?

Step 1:

In the very first step the distance units need to be converted. First miles need to be converted into meters

   1mile= 1.609.34 meters

Therefore,

100 miles = (16909.34*100) meters = 160,934 meters.

However, we can state that 100 mph is equal to 160,934 meters per hour.

Step 2:

In the second step we convert hours to seconds.

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Therefore, 160,934 meters per hours = 160,934/3600 seconds

Step 3:

In the third step the numerator is divided by the denominator in order to get the result is m/s

Therefore,

160,934 meters/3600 seconds = 44.7 m/s

However, the step wise conversion is helpful as it provides with the accurate results and it is much faster. The step wise conversion is much easier and gives the approximate value. Conversion is one of the important aspects as it is required in different fields. The conversion from mph to mps is related with length, acceleration and time. The unit conversion is based on international standards.
