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 7217 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 7217 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

7217 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 7217 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2199.7416 m/s

The final result is:

7217 ft/s → 2199.7416 m/s

We conclude that 7217 feet per second is equivalent to 2199.7416 meters per second:

7217 feet per second = 2199.7416 meters per second

Alternative conversion
