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 522 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 522 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

522 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 522 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 159.1056 m/s

The final result is:

522 ft/s → 159.1056 m/s

We conclude that 522 feet per second is equivalent to 159.1056 meters per second:

522 feet per second = 159.1056 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 0.0062851338984926 × 522 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 522 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0062851338984926 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

522 ft/s ≅ 159.106 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero six times five hundred twenty-two feet per second.
