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 891 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 891 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

891 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 891 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 271.5768 m/s

The final result is:

891 ft/s → 271.5768 m/s

We conclude that 891 feet per second is equivalent to 271.5768 meters per second:

891 feet per second = 271.5768 meters per second
