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 787 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 787 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

787 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 787 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 239.8776 m/s

The final result is:

787 ft/s → 239.8776 m/s

We conclude that 787 feet per second is equivalent to 239.8776 meters per second:

787 feet per second = 239.8776 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 0.0041687927509697 × 787 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 787 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0041687927509697 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred eighty-seven feet per second is approximately two hundred thirty-nine point eight seven eight meters per second:

787 ft/s ≅ 239.878 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times seven hundred eighty-seven feet per second.
