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 2142 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 2142 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

2142 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2142 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 652.8816 m/s

The final result is:

2142 ft/s → 652.8816 m/s

We conclude that 2142 feet per second is equivalent to 652.8816 meters per second:

2142 feet per second = 652.8816 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 0.0015316712861873 × 2142 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 2142 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015316712861873 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand one hundred forty-two feet per second is approximately six hundred fifty-two point eight eight two meters per second:

2142 ft/s ≅ 652.882 m/s

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