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 4748 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 4748 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

4748 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4748 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1447.1904 m/s

The final result is:

4748 ft/s → 1447.1904 m/s

We conclude that 4748 feet per second is equivalent to 1447.1904 meters per second:

4748 feet per second = 1447.1904 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 0.00069099408066831 × 4748 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 4748 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00069099408066831 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 forty-eight feet per second is approximately one thousand four hundred forty-seven point one nine meters per second:

4748 ft/s ≅ 1447.19 m/s

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