Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to meters per second is 0.3048, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.3048 meters per second:

1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s

To convert 620 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 620 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.3048 m/s

620 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 620 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 188.976 m/s

The final result is:

620 ft/s → 188.976 m/s

We conclude that 620 feet per second is equivalent to 188.976 meters per second:

620 feet per second = 188.976 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 0.0052916772500212 × 620 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 620 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0052916772500212 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred twenty feet per second is approximately one hundred eighty-eight point nine seven six meters per second:

620 ft/s ≅ 188.976 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero five times six hundred twenty feet per second.
