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 8562 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 8562 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

8562 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 8562 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2609.6976 m/s

The final result is:

8562 ft/s → 2609.6976 m/s

We conclude that 8562 feet per second is equivalent to 2609.6976 meters per second:

8562 feet per second = 2609.6976 meters per second

Alternative conversion
