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 5445 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 5445 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

5445 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5445 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1659.636 m/s

The final result is:

5445 ft/s → 1659.636 m/s

We conclude that 5445 feet per second is equivalent to 1659.636 meters per second:

5445 feet per second = 1659.636 meters per second
