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 5566 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 5566 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

5566 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5566 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1696.5168 m/s

The final result is:

5566 ft/s → 1696.5168 m/s

We conclude that 5566 feet per second is equivalent to 1696.5168 meters per second:

5566 feet per second = 1696.5168 meters per second
