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 6947 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 6947 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

6947 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 6947 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2117.4456 m/s

The final result is:

6947 ft/s → 2117.4456 m/s

We conclude that 6947 feet per second is equivalent to 2117.4456 meters per second:

6947 feet per second = 2117.4456 meters per second

Alternative conversion
