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 1960 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1960 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

1960 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1960 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 597.408 m/s

The final result is:

1960 ft/s → 597.408 m/s

We conclude that 1960 feet per second is equivalent to 597.408 meters per second:

1960 feet per second = 597.408 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 0.0016738979056189 × 1960 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1960 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016738979056189 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 nine hundred sixty feet per second is approximately five hundred ninety-seven point four zero eight meters per second:

1960 ft/s ≅ 597.408 m/s

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