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 1660 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1660 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

1660 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1660 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 505.968 m/s

The final result is:

1660 ft/s → 505.968 m/s

We conclude that 1660 feet per second is equivalent to 505.968 meters per second:

1660 feet per second = 505.968 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 0.0019764095753091 × 1660 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1660 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019764095753091 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 sixty feet per second is approximately five hundred five point nine six eight meters per second:

1660 ft/s ≅ 505.968 m/s

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