Convert foot per second to meter per second
Foot per second
The foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as the distance in feet travelled in one second. One ft/s is equal to exactly 0.3048 metres per second, and the speed of sound in air at sea level is approximately 1,125 ft/s. It is used in ballistics, aeronautics, and structural engineering in the United States. The unit is also the basis for the definition of mechanical horsepower via the foot-pound-force per second.
Meter per Second
The meter per second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed and velocity, defined as the distance in meters traveled in one second. It is the standard unit for expressing velocity in science, engineering, and many international contexts. One meter per second equals 3.6 kilometers per hour or approximately 2.237 miles per hour.
