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 1609 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1609 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

1609 ft/s → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 1609 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V(m/s) = 490.4232 m/s

The final result is:

1609 ft/s → 490.4232 m/s

We conclude that 1609 feet per second is equivalent to 490.4232 meters per second:

1609 feet per second = 490.4232 meters per second
