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 2988 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 2988 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

2988 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2988 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 910.7424 m/s

The final result is:

2988 ft/s → 910.7424 m/s

We conclude that 2988 feet per second is equivalent to 910.7424 meters per second:

2988 feet per second = 910.7424 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 0.0010980053196162 × 2988 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 2988 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010980053196162 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 nine hundred eighty-eight feet per second is approximately nine hundred ten point seven four two meters per second:

2988 ft/s ≅ 910.742 m/s

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