m/s to ft/s – convert metres per second to feet per second
Convert m/s to ft/s (metres per second to feet per second) for ballistics, physics, sports timing and engineering work. This page opens the main speed converter with m/s → ft/s pre-selected.
Open the interactive m/s → ft/s converter:
Use main converter (m/s → ft/s) or switch to ft/s → m/sOn the homepage you can also convert to km/h, mph and knots. The Tool Hub stopwatch is handy for timing distances and working out speeds.
Quick reference: m/s to ft/s
Since 1 m ≈ 3.28084 ft, the conversion is: ft/s = m/s × 3.28084.
| m/s | ft/s (approx.) |
|---|---|
| 1 m/s | 3.28 ft/s |
| 2 m/s | 6.56 ft/s |
| 5 m/s | 16.40 ft/s |
| 10 m/s | 32.81 ft/s |
| 20 m/s | 65.62 ft/s |
| 30 m/s | 98.43 ft/s |
How to convert metres per second to feet per second
Use:
ft/s = m/s × 3.28084
Examples:
- 4 m/s × 3.28084 ≈ 13.12 ft/s
- 8 m/s × 3.28084 ≈ 26.25 ft/s
- 15 m/s × 3.28084 ≈ 49.21 ft/s
Where m/s → ft/s is used
- Ballistics and impact-speed calculations.
- Sports timing where distances are measured in feet.
- Engineering contexts mixing SI and imperial measurements.
- Translating lab results in metres per second to feet per second for reports.

The converter uses metres per second as the core speed unit, then derives ft/s, km/h and mph from that base.
