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 1443 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1443 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

1443 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1443 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 439.8264 m/s

The final result is:

1443 ft/s → 439.8264 m/s

We conclude that 1443 feet per second is equivalent to 439.8264 meters per second:

1443 feet per second = 439.8264 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 0.0022736243208684 × 1443 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1443 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022736243208684 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 forty-three feet per second is approximately four hundred thirty-nine point eight two six meters per second:

1443 ft/s ≅ 439.826 m/s

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