Speed in feet per second (ft/s, ft s-1):
Result in meters per second (m/s, m s-1):
How to convert speed from feet per second to meters per second?
1 ft/s ≈ 0.3048 m/s
1 feet per second ≈ 0.3048 meters per second
Feet per second = ft / h = ft h-1 = ft • h-1 = fps = foot per second
Meters per second (US) = metres per second (UK) = m / s = m s-1 = m • s-1
Speed in meters per second is equal to speed in feet per second multiply by 0.3048.
Formulas:
meters per second = feet per second x 0.3048
υm/s = υft/s x 0.3048
υm/s – speed in meters per second;
υft/s – speed in feet per second.
For example:
Convert speed 10 ft/s to m/s.
Solution: υm/s = υft/s x 0.3048 = 10 x 0.3048 = 3.05 m/s. Answer: 10 ft/s = 3.05 m/s
Convert speed 20 ft/s to m/s.
Solution: υm/s = υft/s x 0.3048 = 20 x 0.3048 = 6.1 m/s. Answer: 20 ft/s = 6.1 m/s
