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 1634 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1634 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

1634 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1634 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 498.0432 m/s

The final result is:

1634 ft/s → 498.0432 m/s

We conclude that 1634 feet per second is equivalent to 498.0432 meters per second:

1634 feet per second = 498.0432 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 0.0020078579528844 × 1634 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1634 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020078579528844 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 thirty-four feet per second is approximately four hundred ninety-eight point zero four three meters per second:

1634 ft/s ≅ 498.043 m/s

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