How to convert meters per second to feet per second
A knot is one international nautical mile (1852 meters) per hour. Mach is excluded because the speed of sound depends on the medium and conditions.
Use x for the value in m/s, b for the intermediate value in m/s, and y for the result in ft/s.
ft/s = m/s ÷ 0.3048
Worked examples
10 m/s ≈ 32.8083989501 ft/s
Step 1: (10 × 1) ≈ 10 m/s.
Step 2: 10 ÷ 0.3048 ≈ 32.8083989501 ft/s.20 m/s ≈ 65.6167979003 ft/s
Step 1: (20 × 1) ≈ 20 m/s.
Step 2: 20 ÷ 0.3048 ≈ 65.6167979003 ft/s.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Meters per second
Meters per second (m/s) measures speed under the conventions above. The base value in m/s is (x × 1), where x is the numerical value in m/s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Feet per second
Feet per second (ft/s) measures speed under the conventions above. The base value in m/s is (x × 0.3048), where x is the numerical value in ft/s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
