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 1559 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1559 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

1559 ft/s → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 1559 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V(m/s) = 475.1832 m/s

The final result is:

1559 ft/s → 475.1832 m/s

We conclude that 1559 feet per second is equivalent to 475.1832 meters per second:

1559 feet per second = 475.1832 meters per second
