First, convert the speed from feet per minute to meters per minute by dividing by 3.28 (since there are 3.28 feet in a meter): 1950 feet/minute ÷ 3.28 = 594.51 meters/minute. Then, convert meters per minute to meters per second by dividing by 60 (since there are 60 seconds in a minute): 594.51 meters/minute ÷ 60 = 9.91 meters/second.
