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 873 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 873 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

873 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 873 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 266.0904 m/s

The final result is:

873 ft/s → 266.0904 m/s

We conclude that 873 feet per second is equivalent to 266.0904 meters per second:

873 feet per second = 266.0904 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 0.0037581213001296 × 873 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 873 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037581213001296 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 seventy-three feet per second is approximately two hundred sixty-six point zero nine meters per second:

873 ft/s ≅ 266.09 m/s

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