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 6162 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 6162 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

6162 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 6162 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1878.1776 m/s

The final result is:

6162 ft/s → 1878.1776 m/s

We conclude that 6162 feet per second is equivalent to 1878.1776 meters per second:

6162 feet per second = 1878.1776 meters per second
