What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows users to convert speed measurements from foot/second (ft/s), a common unit in the US customary and Imperial systems, to meter/second (m/s), the standard SI unit for speed. It supports applications ranging from ballistics and fluid dynamics to physics experiments.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the speed value in foot/second [ft/s] into the input field.
  • Select foot/second as the original unit and meter/second as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent speed in meter/second [m/s].

Key Features

  • Converts foot/second [ft/s] to meter/second [m/s] accurately based on the exact conversion rate.
  • Supports use cases in ballistics, HVAC engineering, physics labs, and meteorology.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring installation.
  • Provides clear examples for better understanding of the conversion process.

Examples

  • 5 ft/s converts to 1.524 m/s by multiplying 5 × 0.3048.
  • 10 ft/s equals 3.048 m/s using the conversion factor 10 × 0.3048.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying projectile velocities in ballistics and firearms testing.
  • Reporting fluid or air velocities in HVAC and wind tunnel measurements.
  • Conducting physics and engineering laboratory experiments using SI units.
  • Expressing wind speed or airspeed in meteorology and aerodynamics.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify unit selections to ensure correct conversions.
  • Use converted SI units for international reporting and scientific accuracy.
  • Be aware of differences between imperial and metric units in documentation.
  • Consider rounding effects if very high precision is necessary.

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes exact equivalence; rounding discrepancies can occur in precise calculations.
  • Imperial foot/second units may not be accepted in strictly metric regulatory environments.
  • Users must understand unit differences to prevent misinterpretation in safety or compliance contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert foot/second to meter/second?
Converting to meter/second standardizes speed measurements into SI units for scientific accuracy and international use.

Is foot/second an SI unit?
No, foot/second is part of the US customary and Imperial systems, not the SI system.

Can rounding errors affect my conversions?
Yes, very precise applications should consider possible rounding errors when converting units.

Key Terminology

Foot/second [ft/s]
A speed unit from the US customary and Imperial systems defined as one foot traveled in one second.
Meter/second [m/s]
The SI derived unit for speed equal to one metre traveled in one second, also used for velocity.
Conversion Rate
The factor (0.3048) used to convert a speed value from foot/second to meter/second.
