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 2947 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 2947 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

2947 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2947 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 898.2456 m/s

The final result is:

2947 ft/s → 898.2456 m/s

We conclude that 2947 feet per second is equivalent to 898.2456 meters per second:

2947 feet per second = 898.2456 meters per second

Alternative conversion
