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 968 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 968 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

968 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 968 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 295.0464 m/s

The final result is:

968 ft/s → 295.0464 m/s

We conclude that 968 feet per second is equivalent to 295.0464 meters per second:

968 feet per second = 295.0464 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 0.0033892974122036 × 968 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 968 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033892974122036 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred sixty-eight feet per second is approximately two hundred ninety-five point zero four six meters per second:

968 ft/s ≅ 295.046 m/s

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