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 8879 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 8879 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

8879 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 8879 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2706.3192 m/s

The final result is:

8879 ft/s → 2706.3192 m/s

We conclude that 8879 feet per second is equivalent to 2706.3192 meters per second:

8879 feet per second = 2706.3192 meters per second

Alternative conversion
