Foot per Second to Meter per Second Formula
The complete formula for converting feet per second (ft/s) to meters per second (m/s). See the formula, how it works, and worked examples below.
ft/s × 0.3048 = m/s
How the Formula Works
To convert feet per second to meters per second, divide the value by 3.28 (or multiply by 0.3048). This works because 1 foot per second equals 0.3048 meters per second.
Worked Examples
1 ft/s to m/s
- Start with 1 ft/s
- Multiply by 0.3048: 1 × 0.3048 = 0.3048
- Result: 1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s
5 ft/s to m/s
- Start with 5 ft/s
- Multiply by 0.3048: 5 × 0.3048 = 1.52
- Result: 5 ft/s = 1.52 m/s
10 ft/s to m/s
- Start with 10 ft/s
- Multiply by 0.3048: 10 × 0.3048 = 3.05
- Result: 10 ft/s = 3.05 m/s
50 ft/s to m/s
- Start with 50 ft/s
- Multiply by 0.3048: 50 × 0.3048 = 15.24
- Result: 50 ft/s = 15.24 m/s
100 ft/s to m/s
- Start with 100 ft/s
- Multiply by 0.3048: 100 × 0.3048 = 30.48
- Result: 100 ft/s = 30.48 m/s
Reverse Formula: Meter per Second to Foot per Second
m/s ÷ 0.3048 = ft/s
