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 6394 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 6394 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

6394 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 6394 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1948.8912 m/s

The final result is:

6394 ft/s → 1948.8912 m/s

We conclude that 6394 feet per second is equivalent to 1948.8912 meters per second:

6394 feet per second = 1948.8912 meters per second
