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 7172 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 7172 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

7172 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 7172 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2186.0256 m/s

The final result is:

7172 ft/s → 2186.0256 m/s

We conclude that 7172 feet per second is equivalent to 2186.0256 meters per second:

7172 feet per second = 2186.0256 meters per second
