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 4770 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 4770 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

4770 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4770 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1453.896 m/s

The final result is:

4770 ft/s → 1453.896 m/s

We conclude that 4770 feet per second is equivalent to 1453.896 meters per second:

4770 feet per second = 1453.896 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 0.00068780710587277 × 4770 feet per second.
