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 1542 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1542 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

1542 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1542 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 470.0016 m/s

The final result is:

1542 ft/s → 470.0016 m/s

We conclude that 1542 feet per second is equivalent to 470.0016 meters per second:

1542 feet per second = 470.0016 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 0.0021276523313963 × 1542 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1542 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021276523313963 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 five hundred forty-two feet per second is approximately four hundred seventy point zero zero two meters per second:

1542 ft/s ≅ 470.002 m/s

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