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 1049.1 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1049.1 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

1049.1 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1049.1 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 319.76568 m/s

The final result is:

1049.1 ft/s → 319.76568 m/s

We conclude that 1049.1 feet per second is equivalent to 319.76568 meters per second:

1049.1 feet per second = 319.76568 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 0.0031272899580718 × 1049.1 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1049.1 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0031272899580718 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 forty-nine point one feet per second is approximately three hundred nineteen point seven six six meters per second:

1049.1 ft/s ≅ 319.766 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times one thousand forty-nine point one feet per second.
