Meters per Second to Feet per Second (m/s to ft/s)

1 meter per second equals 3.28084 feet per second — multiply the number of meters per second by 3.28084 to convert to feet per second. Because one meter is exactly 3.28084 feet, the same factor applies to speed. The conversion is exact to the shown precision.

The formula

To convert meters per second to feet per second, multiply by the exact factor:

ft/s = m/s × 3.28084

For example, 10 m/s × 3.28084 = 32.81 ft/s. To reverse it, multiply ft/s by 0.3048 to get m/s.

How to convert online

1. Type the number of meters per second into the first box.
2. Read the feet-per-second value instantly in the second box.
3. Or enter a ft/s value to convert back to m/s — it works both ways.

Where this conversion is used

Converting m/s to ft/s bridges SI physics results and imperial engineering, appearing in fluid flow and wind-speed work, ballistics and projectile motion, sports biomechanics, and any US-based analysis that needs metric velocity figures in feet per second.

Worked example

Suppose a fluid-dynamics result gives a flow velocity of 12 m/s and your report uses imperial units. Apply the formula: 12 × 3.28084 = 39.37 ft/s. A gentle 3 m/s breeze becomes 3 × 3.28084 = 9.84 ft/s. Reversing it, a muzzle-adjacent reading of 100 ft/s is 100 × 0.3048 = 30.48 m/s. Because one foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 m, the 3.28084 factor is precise, so converting a full column of velocity data from SI to feet per second introduces no cumulative rounding error.

FAQ

How many feet per second are in a meter per second?

One meter per second equals 3.28084 feet per second. Multiply m/s by 3.28084 — for example, 10 m/s = 32.8084 ft/s.

How do I convert feet per second back to meters per second?

Multiply ft/s by 0.3048 (or divide by 3.28084). So 10 ft/s = 3.048 m/s.

Is the conversion exact?

Yes. One foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 m, so 1 m/s = 3.28084 ft/s is exact to the shown precision.
