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 5145 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 5145 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

5145 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5145 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1568.196 m/s

The final result is:

5145 ft/s → 1568.196 m/s

We conclude that 5145 feet per second is equivalent to 1568.196 meters per second:

5145 feet per second = 1568.196 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 0.00063767539261674 × 5145 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 5145 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00063767539261674 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand one hundred forty-five feet per second is approximately one thousand five hundred sixty-eight point one nine six meters per second:

5145 ft/s ≅ 1568.196 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times five thousand one hundred forty-five feet per second.
