UnitConFeet per Second to Meters per Second Converter
Convert feet per second to meters per second for ballistics, fluid dynamics, and physics calculations. Feet per second appears in US engineering and firearms contexts, while m/s is required for most scientific work.
Formula
Multiply feet per second by 0.3048 to get meters per second. To reverse, divide m/s by 0.3048 to get ft/s.

About these units
Foot per Second
The foot per second was a common speed unit in pre-metric engineering and is still used in ballistics (muzzle velocity), pipeline flow rates, and some US engineering standards.
Meter per Second
The meter per second is the SI coherent unit of speed. Its use is standard in all international scientific and engineering contexts and enables direct substitution into physics equations.
