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 385 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 385 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

385 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 385 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 117.348 m/s

The final result is:

385 ft/s → 117.348 m/s

We conclude that 385 feet per second is equivalent to 117.348 meters per second:

385 feet per second = 117.348 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 0.0085216620649692 × 385 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 385 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0085216620649692 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred eighty-five feet per second is approximately one hundred seventeen point three four eight meters per second:

385 ft/s ≅ 117.348 m/s

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