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 3282 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 3282 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

3282 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3282 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1000.3536 m/s

The final result is:

3282 ft/s → 1000.3536 m/s

We conclude that 3282 feet per second is equivalent to 1000.3536 meters per second:

3282 feet per second = 1000.3536 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 0.00099964652498876 × 3282 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3282 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00099964652498876 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 two hundred eighty-two feet per second is approximately one thousand point three five four meters per second:

3282 ft/s ≅ 1000.354 m/s

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