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 9781 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 9781 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

9781 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 9781 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2981.2488 m/s

The final result is:

9781 ft/s → 2981.2488 m/s

We conclude that 9781 feet per second is equivalent to 2981.2488 meters per second:

9781 feet per second = 2981.2488 meters per second
