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 5699 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 5699 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

5699 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5699 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1737.0552 m/s

The final result is:

5699 ft/s → 1737.0552 m/s

We conclude that 5699 feet per second is equivalent to 1737.0552 meters per second:

5699 feet per second = 1737.0552 meters per second
