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 3009 meters per second into feet per second we have to multiply 3009 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

3009 m/s → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3009 m/s × 3.2808398950131 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9872.0472440945 ft/s

The final result is:

3009 m/s → 9872.0472440945 ft/s

We conclude that 3009 meters per second is equivalent to 9872.0472440945 feet per second:

3009 meters per second = 9872.0472440945 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 0.000101296111665 × 3009 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 3009 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.000101296111665 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

3009 m/s ≅ 9872.047 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times three thousand nine meters per second.
