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 5876 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 5876 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

5876 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5876 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1791.0048 m/s

The final result is:

5876 ft/s → 1791.0048 m/s

We conclude that 5876 feet per second is equivalent to 1791.0048 meters per second:

5876 feet per second = 1791.0048 meters per second
