Unit converter

Metres per second to miles per hour.

Convert m/s to mph and mph to m/s. Type in either box and the other follows. Physics works in metres per second; speed limits do not. One metre per second is 2.24 mph.

Definitions

  • The metre per second is the SI unit of speed, and the one physics equations expect.
  • The mile per hour is the speed limit unit in the UK and the US. Exactly 0.447 04 m/s.
  • This conversion is exact by definition. 1 m/s = 2.236936292 mph.
  • Speed is converted through m/s.

How it works

One direction multiplies and the other divides by the same number, so nothing is lost by going back and forth.

The value passes through m/s, the unit every other speed unit on the site is defined against, rather than a number written into this page on its own. That is why the figure here, the figure in the table above and the general speed converter always agree.

Display precision sets a maximum number of significant figures and trims trailing zeroes, so it changes what you see and never what was calculated. The editable box always holds a plain number at full working precision, so you can carry on from either side.

Common questions this answers: how many miles per hour in a metre per second (2.23694), how many metres per second in a mile per hour (0.44704), and what 10 m/s is in miles per hour (22.3694 mph).
