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 7170 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 7170 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

7170 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 7170 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2185.416 m/s

The final result is:

7170 ft/s → 2185.416 m/s

We conclude that 7170 feet per second is equivalent to 2185.416 meters per second:

7170 feet per second = 2185.416 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 0.00045757878591536 × 7170 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 7170 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00045757878591536 meters per second.

Approximate result
