Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to feet per second is 3.2808398950131, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 3.2808398950131 feet per second:

1 m/s = 3.2808398950131 ft/s

To convert 143 meters per second into feet per second we have to multiply 143 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 3.2808398950131 ft/s

143 m/s → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 143 m/s × 3.2808398950131 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 469.16010498688 ft/s

The final result is:

143 m/s → 469.16010498688 ft/s

We conclude that 143 meters per second is equivalent to 469.16010498688 feet per second:

143 meters per second = 469.16010498688 feet per second
