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 102 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 102 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

102 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 102 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 31.0896 m/s

The final result is:

102 ft/s → 31.0896 m/s

We conclude that 102 feet per second is equivalent to 31.0896 meters per second:

102 feet per second = 31.0896 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 0.032165097009933 × 102 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 102 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.032165097009933 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred two feet per second is approximately thirty-one point zero nine meters per second:

102 ft/s ≅ 31.09 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero three two times one hundred two feet per second.
