Answer:

1101.84 mph

Explanation:

To convert the speed of nitrogen gas from meters per second (m/s) to miles per hour (mph), we can use the conversion factor between the two units.

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

1 hour = 3600 seconds

To convert meters per second to miles per hour, we can multiply the speed in meters per second by the conversion factor:

493.07 m/s * (1 mile / 1609.34 meters) * (3600 seconds / 1 hour) = 1101.84 mph
