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 9874 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 9874 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

9874 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 9874 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 3009.5952 m/s

The final result is:

9874 ft/s → 3009.5952 m/s

We conclude that 9874 feet per second is equivalent to 3009.5952 meters per second:

9874 feet per second = 3009.5952 meters per second

Alternative conversion
