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 3509 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 3509 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

3509 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3509 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1069.5432 m/s

The final result is:

3509 ft/s → 1069.5432 m/s

We conclude that 3509 feet per second is equivalent to 1069.5432 meters per second:

3509 feet per second = 1069.5432 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 0.00093497859646997 × 3509 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3509 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00093497859646997 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 five hundred nine feet per second is approximately one thousand sixty-nine point five four three meters per second:

3509 ft/s ≅ 1069.543 m/s

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