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 696 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 696 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

696 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 696 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 212.1408 m/s

The final result is:

696 ft/s → 212.1408 m/s

We conclude that 696 feet per second is equivalent to 212.1408 meters per second:

696 feet per second = 212.1408 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 0.0047138504238694 × 696 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 696 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0047138504238694 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 ninety-six feet per second is approximately two hundred twelve point one four one meters per second:

696 ft/s ≅ 212.141 m/s

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