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 1616 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1616 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

1616 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1616 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 492.5568 m/s

The final result is:

1616 ft/s → 492.5568 m/s

We conclude that 1616 feet per second is equivalent to 492.5568 meters per second:

1616 feet per second = 492.5568 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 0.0020302227073101 × 1616 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1616 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020302227073101 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 six hundred sixteen feet per second is approximately four hundred ninety-two point five five seven meters per second:

1616 ft/s ≅ 492.557 m/s

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