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 2642 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 2642 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

2642 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2642 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 805.2816 m/s

The final result is:

2642 ft/s → 805.2816 m/s

We conclude that 2642 feet per second is equivalent to 805.2816 meters per second:

2642 feet per second = 805.2816 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 0.0012418016256673 × 2642 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 2642 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012418016256673 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 six hundred forty-two feet per second is approximately eight hundred five point two eight two meters per second:

2642 ft/s ≅ 805.282 m/s

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