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 563.2 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 563.2 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

563.2 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 563.2 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 171.66336 m/s

The final result is:

563.2 ft/s → 171.66336 m/s

We conclude that 563.2 feet per second is equivalent to 171.66336 meters per second:

563.2 feet per second = 171.66336 meters per second

Alternative conversion
