270 meters per second in feet per second

Result

The conversion result is: 270 meters per second is equivalent to 885.826771653543 feet per second.^[1]

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00112888888888889 times 270 meters per second.

It can also be expressed as: 270 meters per second is equal to 1 / 0.00112888888888889 feet per second.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: two hundred and seventy meters per second is about eight hundred and eighty-five point eight three feet per second, or alternatively, a foot per second is about zero times two hundred and seventy meters per second.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Meters Per Second

"Meter per second is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds.The SI unit symbols are m·s−1, m s−1, m/s, or m/s, sometimes (unofficially) abbreviated as mps. Where metres per second are several orders of magnitude too slow to be convenient, such as in astronomical measurements, velocities may be given in kilometres per second, where 1 km/s is 1000 metres per second, sometimes unofficially abbreviated as kps."

Feet Per Second

'The foot per second (plural feet per second) is a unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity, which includes direction). It expresses the distance in feet (ft) traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds (s, or sec). The corresponding unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the metre per second.Abbreviations include ft/s, ft/sec and fps, and the rarely used scientific notation ft s−1.'
