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 3638 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 3638 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

3638 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3638 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1108.8624 m/s

The final result is:

3638 ft/s → 1108.8624 m/s

We conclude that 3638 feet per second is equivalent to 1108.8624 meters per second:

3638 feet per second = 1108.8624 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 0.00090182514981119 × 3638 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3638 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00090182514981119 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 six hundred thirty-eight feet per second is approximately one thousand one hundred eight point eight six two meters per second:

3638 ft/s ≅ 1108.862 m/s

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