  1. 1 m/s = 3.28083989501 ft/s
  2. 1 × 3.28083989501 = 3.28083989501 ft/s

How to convert meters per second to feet per second

1 m/s = 3.28083989501 ft/s, so multiply by 3.28083989501 to go from meters per second to feet per second. Going the other way, 1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s.

ft/s = m/s × 3.28083989501
m/s = ft/s × 0.3048

Worked example:

1 m/s = 3.28083989501 ft/s
5 × 3.28083989501 = 16.4041994751 ft/s
