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 8778 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 8778 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

8778 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 8778 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2675.5344 m/s

The final result is:

8778 ft/s → 2675.5344 m/s

We conclude that 8778 feet per second is equivalent to 2675.5344 meters per second:

8778 feet per second = 2675.5344 meters per second
