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 3163 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 3163 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

3163 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3163 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 964.0824 m/s

The final result is:

3163 ft/s → 964.0824 m/s

We conclude that 3163 feet per second is equivalent to 964.0824 meters per second:

3163 feet per second = 964.0824 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 0.0010372557366466 × 3163 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3163 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010372557366466 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

3163 ft/s ≅ 964.082 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand one hundred sixty-three feet per second.
