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 689.3 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 689.3 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

689.3 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 689.3 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 210.09864 m/s

The final result is:

689.3 ft/s → 210.09864 m/s

We conclude that 689.3 feet per second is equivalent to 210.09864 meters per second:

689.3 feet per second = 210.09864 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 0.0047596690773439 × 689.3 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 689.3 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0047596690773439 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

689.3 ft/s ≅ 210.099 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero five times six hundred eighty-nine point three feet per second.
