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 1562 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1562 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

1562 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1562 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 476.0976 m/s

The final result is:

1562 ft/s → 476.0976 m/s

We conclude that 1562 feet per second is equivalent to 476.0976 meters per second:

1562 feet per second = 476.0976 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 0.0021004096639008 × 1562 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1562 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021004096639008 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 sixty-two feet per second is approximately four hundred seventy-six point zero nine eight meters per second:

1562 ft/s ≅ 476.098 m/s

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