Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to feet per second is 3.2808398950131, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 3.2808398950131 feet per second:

1 m/s = 3.2808398950131 ft/s

To convert 3.6 meters per second into feet per second we have to multiply 3.6 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 3.2808398950131 ft/s

3.6 m/s → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3.6 m/s × 3.2808398950131 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 11.811023622047 ft/s

The final result is:

3.6 m/s → 11.811023622047 ft/s

We conclude that 3.6 meters per second is equivalent to 11.811023622047 feet per second:

3.6 meters per second = 11.811023622047 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.084666666666667 × 3.6 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 3.6 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.084666666666667 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three point six meters per second is approximately eleven point eight one one feet per second:

3.6 m/s ≅ 11.811 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero eight five times three point six meters per second.
