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 1016.7 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1016.7 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

1016.7 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1016.7 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 309.89016 m/s

The final result is:

1016.7 ft/s → 309.89016 m/s

We conclude that 1016.7 feet per second is equivalent to 309.89016 meters per second:

1016.7 feet per second = 309.89016 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 0.0032269498328053 × 1016.7 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1016.7 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0032269498328053 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

1016.7 ft/s ≅ 309.89 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times one thousand sixteen point seven feet per second.
