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 3743 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 3743 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

3743 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3743 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1140.8664 m/s

The final result is:

3743 ft/s → 1140.8664 m/s

We conclude that 3743 feet per second is equivalent to 1140.8664 meters per second:

3743 feet per second = 1140.8664 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 0.00087652682207137 × 3743 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3743 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00087652682207137 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 seven hundred forty-three feet per second is approximately one thousand one hundred forty point eight six six meters per second:

3743 ft/s ≅ 1140.866 m/s

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