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 128 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 128 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

128 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 128 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 39.0144 m/s

The final result is:

128 ft/s → 39.0144 m/s

We conclude that 128 feet per second is equivalent to 39.0144 meters per second:

128 feet per second = 39.0144 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 0.02563156167979 × 128 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 128 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.02563156167979 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 twenty-eight feet per second is approximately thirty-nine point zero one four meters per second:

128 ft/s ≅ 39.014 m/s

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