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 5553 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 5553 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

5553 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5553 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1692.5544 m/s

The final result is:

5553 ft/s → 1692.5544 m/s

We conclude that 5553 feet per second is equivalent to 1692.5544 meters per second:

5553 feet per second = 1692.5544 meters per second
