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 1300 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1300 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

1300 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1300 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 396.24 m/s

The final result is:

1300 ft/s → 396.24 m/s

We conclude that 1300 feet per second is equivalent to 396.24 meters per second:

1300 feet per second = 396.24 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 0.0025237229961639 × 1300 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1300 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0025237229961639 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 three hundred feet per second is approximately three hundred ninety-six point two four meters per second:

1300 ft/s ≅ 396.24 m/s

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