About converting Meter per Sec to Foot per Sec

Converting Meter per Sec to Foot per Sec is a common speed conversion. One meter per sec (m/s) equals 3.28084 foot per sec (ft/s). Meters per second is the SI unit for speed, used in physics and engineering.

This conversion is commonly needed for running and fitness tracking, aviation and flight planning, sailing and marine navigation. Feet per second are used in ballistics, engineering, and some US speed calculations.

To put meter per sec in perspective: a brisk walk (about 1.4 m/s). In foot per sec, common references include a pitched baseball (about 130 ft/s).

Did you know?

Meters per second is the SI derived unit for speed, calculated simply as distance in meters divided by time in seconds — the standard unit in physics equations worldwide.

Real-world examples
Meter per Sec (m/s)
  • a brisk walk (about 1.4 m/s)
  • world-record 100m sprint (about 10.4 m/s)
  • speed of sound at sea level (343 m/s)
Foot per Sec (ft/s)
  • a fast elevator (about 20 ft/s)
  • a pitched baseball (about 130 ft/s)
  • the speed of sound (about 1,125 ft/s)
Did you know?

Feet per second is commonly used in ballistics to describe projectile muzzle velocity, giving more intuitively sized numbers than meters per second for that range of speeds.

Common uses for speed conversion

People frequently convert between meter per sec and foot per sec for:

  • driving and speed limit compliance
  • running and fitness tracking
  • aviation and flight planning
  • sailing and marine navigation
  • physics and engineering calculations
