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 3296 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 3296 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

3296 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3296 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1004.6208 m/s

The final result is:

3296 ft/s → 1004.6208 m/s

We conclude that 3296 feet per second is equivalent to 1004.6208 meters per second:

3296 feet per second = 1004.6208 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 0.00099540045358408 × 3296 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3296 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00099540045358408 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 ninety-six feet per second is approximately one thousand four point six two one meters per second:

3296 ft/s ≅ 1004.621 m/s

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