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 7197 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 7197 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

7197 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 7197 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2193.6456 m/s

The final result is:

7197 ft/s → 2193.6456 m/s

We conclude that 7197 feet per second is equivalent to 2193.6456 meters per second:
