ft/s to m/s Converter - Foot per Second to Meter per Second

Conversion derivation

Express both ft/s and m/s in the same base unit m/s (meter per second), then cancel the shared base unit.

1. 1

   Rewrite ft/s in the base unit

   $$1ft/s=0.3048m/s$$
2. 2

   Rewrite m/s in the base unit

   $$1m/s=1m/s$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1ft/s& =\frac{0.3048\cancel{m/s}}{1\cancel{m/s}}\times 1m/s\\ & =\frac{0.3048}{1}m/s\\ & =0.3048m/s\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1m/s& =\frac{1\cancel{m/s}}{0.3048\cancel{m/s}}\times 1ft/s\\ & =\frac{1}{0.3048}ft/s\\ & =3.28083989501ft/s\end{array}$$
