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 1684 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1684 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

1684 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1684 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 513.2832 m/s

The final result is:

1684 ft/s → 513.2832 m/s

We conclude that 1684 feet per second is equivalent to 513.2832 meters per second:

1684 feet per second = 513.2832 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 0.0019482422179413 × 1684 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1684 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019482422179413 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 eighty-four feet per second is approximately five hundred thirteen point two eight three meters per second:

1684 ft/s ≅ 513.283 m/s

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