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 799 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 799 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

799 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 799 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 243.5352 m/s

The final result is:

799 ft/s → 243.5352 m/s

We conclude that 799 feet per second is equivalent to 243.5352 meters per second:

799 feet per second = 243.5352 meters per second

Alternative conversion
