Feet per Second to Meters per Second (ft/s to m/s) Converter
1 foot per second (ft/s) = 0.3048 meters per second (m/s). To convert feet per second to meters per second, multiply by 0.3048: 25 ft/s × 0.3048 = 7.62 m/s. Also searched as feet per second to metres per second.
Quick facts
- 1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s
- 1 m/s = 3.28084 ft/s
- Formula: m/s = ft/s × 0.3048
- Quick estimate: multiply by about 0.3
How to convert feet per second to meters per second
- Take the value in feet per second.
- Multiply it by 0.3048 (the number of meters per second in one foot per second).
- Round the result to the precision you need.
Worked example: 25 ft/s × 0.3048 = 7.62 m/s.
To convert meters per second back to feet per second, multiply by 3.28084, or divide by 0.3048.
