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 4698 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 4698 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

4698 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4698 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1431.9504 m/s

The final result is:

4698 ft/s → 1431.9504 m/s

We conclude that 4698 feet per second is equivalent to 1431.9504 meters per second:

4698 feet per second = 1431.9504 meters per second

Alternative conversion
