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 182 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 182 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

182 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 182 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 55.4736 m/s

The final result is:

182 ft/s → 55.4736 m/s

We conclude that 182 feet per second is equivalent to 55.4736 meters per second:

182 feet per second = 55.4736 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 0.018026592829742 × 182 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 182 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.018026592829742 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred eighty-two feet per second is approximately fifty-five point four seven four meters per second:

182 ft/s ≅ 55.474 m/s

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