Convert Feet per second to Meters per second

Feet per second → Meters per second
ft/s × 0.3048 = m/s m/s × 3.28084 = ft/s

To convert feet per second (ft/s) to meters per second (m/s), multiply the feet per second value by 0.3048. 1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s, and 1 m/s = 3.28084 ft/s. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert m/s to ft/s.
