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 801 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 801 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

801 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 801 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 244.1448 m/s

The final result is:

801 ft/s → 244.1448 m/s

We conclude that 801 feet per second is equivalent to 244.1448 meters per second:

801 feet per second = 244.1448 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 0.004095929956321 × 801 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 801 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.004095929956321 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred one feet per second is approximately two hundred forty-four point one four five meters per second:

801 ft/s ≅ 244.145 m/s

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