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 4700 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 4700 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

4700 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4700 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1432.56 m/s

The final result is:

4700 ft/s → 1432.56 m/s

We conclude that 4700 feet per second is equivalent to 1432.56 meters per second:

4700 feet per second = 1432.56 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 0.00069805104149215 × 4700 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 4700 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00069805104149215 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 seven hundred feet per second is approximately one thousand four hundred thirty-two point five six meters per second:

4700 ft/s ≅ 1432.56 m/s

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