About these units
Feets per Second (ft/s): Feet per second is used in US engineering and ballistics. 1 ft/s is exactly 0.3048 m/s.
Meters per Second (m/s): Metres per second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed, used in science and for wind speed in some forecasts.
Frequently asked questions
How many metres per second are in 1 feet per second?
1 feet per second (ft/s) equals 0.3048 metres per second (m/s).
How do I convert ft/s to m/s?
Multiply the value in feets per second by 0.3048. For example, 5 ft/s × 0.3048 = 1.524 m/s.
How do I convert metres per second back to feets per second?
Multiply by 3.280839895 (or divide by 0.3048). 1 m/s = 3.280839895 ft/s.
What does ft/s mean?
Feet per second is used in US engineering and ballistics. 1 ft/s is exactly 0.3048 m/s.
