ft/s to m/s – convert feet per second to metres per second
Convert ft/s to m/s (feet per second to metres per second) to bring imperial-speed calculations into SI units. This page opens the main speed converter with ft/s → m/s pre-selected.
Open the interactive ft/s → m/s converter:
Use main converter (ft/s → m/s) or switch to m/s → ft/sOnce in m/s you can jump to km/h or mph on the homepage. The Tool Hub stopwatch and timer help you capture distances and times accurately.
Quick reference: ft/s to m/s
Because 1 ft = 0.3048 m, the formula is: m/s = ft/s × 0.3048.
| ft/s | m/s (approx.) |
|---|---|
| 5 ft/s | 1.52 m/s |
| 10 ft/s | 3.05 m/s |
| 20 ft/s | 6.10 m/s |
| 30 ft/s | 9.14 m/s |
| 50 ft/s | 15.24 m/s |
| 100 ft/s | 30.48 m/s |
How to convert feet per second to metres per second
Use:
m/s = ft/s × 0.3048
Examples:
- 15 ft/s × 0.3048 ≈ 4.57 m/s
- 25 ft/s × 0.3048 ≈ 7.62 m/s
- 60 ft/s × 0.3048 ≈ 18.29 m/s
Why convert ft/s to m/s?
- Physics problems that must end in SI units.
- Engineering projects mixing imperial measurement tools with metric specifications.
- Ballistics data originally printed in ft/s but needed in m/s for calculations.
- Sports and performance testing where regulations are specified in metres per second.

The converter uses metres per second as the main internal unit, which makes this a very “native” conversion.
