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 288 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 288 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

288 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 288 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 87.7824 m/s

The final result is:

288 ft/s → 87.7824 m/s

We conclude that 288 feet per second is equivalent to 87.7824 meters per second:

288 feet per second = 87.7824 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 0.011391805191018 × 288 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 288 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011391805191018 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

288 ft/s ≅ 87.782 m/s

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