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 4020 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 4020 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

4020 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4020 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1225.296 m/s

The final result is:

4020 ft/s → 1225.296 m/s

We conclude that 4020 feet per second is equivalent to 1225.296 meters per second:

4020 feet per second = 1225.296 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 0.00081612932711769 × 4020 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 4020 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00081612932711769 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four thousand twenty feet per second is approximately one thousand two hundred twenty-five point two nine six meters per second:

4020 ft/s ≅ 1225.296 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times four thousand twenty feet per second.
