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 1429 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1429 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

1429 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1429 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 435.5592 m/s

The final result is:

1429 ft/s → 435.5592 m/s

We conclude that 1429 feet per second is equivalent to 435.5592 meters per second:

1429 feet per second = 435.5592 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 0.0022958991567622 × 1429 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1429 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022958991567622 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 four hundred twenty-nine feet per second is approximately four hundred thirty-five point five five nine meters per second:

1429 ft/s ≅ 435.559 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand four hundred twenty-nine feet per second.
