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 895 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 895 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

895 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 895 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 272.796 m/s

The final result is:

895 ft/s → 272.796 m/s

We conclude that 895 feet per second is equivalent to 272.796 meters per second:

895 feet per second = 272.796 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 0.003665742899456 × 895 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 895 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.003665742899456 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 ninety-five feet per second is approximately two hundred seventy-two point seven nine six meters per second:

895 ft/s ≅ 272.796 m/s

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