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 6489 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 6489 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

6489 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 6489 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1977.8472 m/s

The final result is:

6489 ft/s → 1977.8472 m/s

We conclude that 6489 feet per second is equivalent to 1977.8472 meters per second:

6489 feet per second = 1977.8472 meters per second
