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 3490 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 3490 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

3490 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3490 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1063.752 m/s

The final result is:

3490 ft/s → 1063.752 m/s

We conclude that 3490 feet per second is equivalent to 1063.752 meters per second:

3490 feet per second = 1063.752 meters per second

Alternative conversion
