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 4724 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 4724 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

4724 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4724 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1439.8752 m/s

The final result is:

4724 ft/s → 1439.8752 m/s

We conclude that 4724 feet per second is equivalent to 1439.8752 meters per second:

4724 feet per second = 1439.8752 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 0.00069450463484613 × 4724 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 4724 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00069450463484613 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 twenty-four feet per second is approximately one thousand four hundred thirty-nine point eight seven five meters per second:

4724 ft/s ≅ 1439.875 m/s

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