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 150 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 150 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

150 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 150 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 45.72 m/s

The final result is:

150 ft/s → 45.72 m/s

We conclude that 150 feet per second is equivalent to 45.72 meters per second:

150 feet per second = 45.72 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 0.021872265966754 × 150 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 150 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.021872265966754 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 fifty feet per second is approximately forty-five point seven two meters per second:

150 ft/s ≅ 45.72 m/s

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