514 feet per second in meters per second

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 514 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 514 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

514 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 514 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 156.6672 m/s

The final result is:

514 ft/s → 156.6672 m/s

We conclude that 514 feet per second is equivalent to 156.6672 meters per second:

514 feet per second = 156.6672 meters per second
