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 486.4 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 486.4 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

486.4 ft/s → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 486.4 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V(m/s) = 148.25472 m/s

The final result is:

486.4 ft/s → 148.25472 m/s

We conclude that 486.4 feet per second is equivalent to 148.25472 meters per second:

486.4 feet per second = 148.25472 meters per second
