Convert meters per second to feet per second at the rate 1 m/s ≈ 3.2808 ft/s (inverse of 1 ft = 0.3048 m). Useful when SI velocity data needs to feed into US engineering calculations in ft/s — projectile ballistics, fluid mechanics, HVAC. Anchors: 10 m/s ≈ 32.81 ft/s, 30 m/s ≈ 98.43 ft/s, 343 m/s ≈ 1125.33 ft/s. Browser-local.

Glossary

Meter per second (m/s)

The meter per second is the SI derived unit of speed, defined as the distance of one meter travelled in one second. It is the standard unit in physics and engineering. Useful conversions: 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h = 2.2369 mph = 1.9438 knots. Wind speeds, projectile velocities and free-fall figures are typically reported in m/s in scientific contexts.

Foot per second (ft/s)

A foot per second is an imperial speed unit used in US engineering — projectile ballistics, fluid mechanics and HVAC airflow specifications. 1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s = 1.0973 km/h = 0.6818 mph. The speed of sound at sea level is about 1,125 ft/s; a fast pitcher's fastball reaches about 145 ft/s.

Metric / SI speed

In the metric system, speed is reported in meters per second (scientific) or kilometers per hour (everyday). The relation is exact: 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h. Most countries use km/h on road signs and speedometers; m/s appears in physics, engineering, weather data and athletics where fine-resolution timing matters.

Imperial / US Customary speed

In the United States, the United Kingdom and a few other countries, road speeds are reported in miles per hour (mph). US engineering also uses feet per second (ft/s). 1 mph = 1.6093 km/h = 0.4470 m/s. Maritime and aviation worldwide use knots (1 knot = 1.852 km/h), independent of the metric/imperial divide.
