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 4762 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 4762 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

4762 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4762 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1451.4576 m/s

The final result is:

4762 ft/s → 1451.4576 m/s

We conclude that 4762 feet per second is equivalent to 1451.4576 meters per second:

4762 feet per second = 1451.4576 meters per second
