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 4859 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 4859 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

4859 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4859 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1481.0232 m/s

The final result is:

4859 ft/s → 1481.0232 m/s

We conclude that 4859 feet per second is equivalent to 1481.0232 meters per second:

4859 feet per second = 1481.0232 meters per second

Alternative conversion
