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 562.7 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 562.7 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

562.7 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 562.7 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 171.51096 m/s

The final result is:

562.7 ft/s → 171.51096 m/s

We conclude that 562.7 feet per second is equivalent to 171.51096 meters per second:

562.7 feet per second = 171.51096 meters per second
