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 6837 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 6837 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

6837 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 6837 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2083.9176 m/s

The final result is:

6837 ft/s → 2083.9176 m/s

We conclude that 6837 feet per second is equivalent to 2083.9176 meters per second:

6837 feet per second = 2083.9176 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.00047986542270193 × 6837 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 6837 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00047986542270193 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six thousand eight hundred thirty-seven feet per second is approximately two thousand eighty-three point nine one eight meters per second:

6837 ft/s ≅ 2083.918 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times six thousand eight hundred thirty-seven feet per second.
