Meters per Second to Feet per Second Converter

Convert meters per second to feet per second for US engineering, ballistics, and sports analysis where ft/s is the expected unit. This is common when SI physics results must be reported in US customary terms.

Formula

Divide meters per second by 0.3048 to get feet per second. To reverse, multiply ft/s by 0.3048 to get m/s.

About these units

Meter per Second

Meters per second is the SI standard for speed, universally used in international science. It appears in all fundamental physics equations and is the required unit in most engineering standards outside the US.

Foot per Second

Feet per second is used in US contexts for ballistics (muzzle velocity), fluid flow in pipes, and some mechanical engineering calculations. One foot per second equals 0.3048 m/s exactly.
