Feet per Second to Meters per Second Converter

m/s = ft/s × 0.3048.

Multiply ft/s by 0.3048. Ballistics and old US textbooks love ft/s. 88 ft/s is 60 mph, which is 26.82 m/s. A 3,000 ft/s muzzle velocity is 914 m/s.

ft/s → m/s

26.822 m/s

88 ft/s → 26.82 m/s (60 mph). 32.17 ft/s² is g, not this page — that is acceleration.

How this calculator works

Multiply ft/s by 0.3048. Ballistics and old US textbooks love ft/s. 88 ft/s is 60 mph, which is 26.82 m/s. A 3,000 ft/s muzzle velocity is 914 m/s. m/s = ft/s × 0.3048. Example: 88 ft/s → 26.82 m/s (60 mph). 32.17 ft/s² is g, not this page — that is acceleration.

m/s = ft/s × 0.3048.

Example: 88 ft/s → 26.82 m/s (60 mph). 32.17 ft/s² is g, not this page — that is acceleration.

When to use this ft/s to m/s

Common use cases

  • Multiply ft/s by 0.3048. Ballistics and old US textbooks love ft/s. 88 ft/s is 60 mph, which is 26.82 m/s. A 3,000 ft/s muzzle velocity is 914 m/s.
  • Sanity-check with this case: 88 ft/s → 26.82 m/s (60 mph). 32.17 ft/s² is g, not this page — that is acceleration.
  • The relationship is: m/s = ft/s × 0.3048.

How to Convert ft/s to m/s Step-by-Step

  1. 1Enter Feet per second. Use the values you have, not a catalog average, unless that is all you know.
  2. 2m/s = ft/s × 0.3048.
  3. 3Worked case: 88 ft/s → 26.82 m/s (60 mph). 32.17 ft/s² is g, not this page — that is acceleration.
  4. 4Check which dictionary the other person is using — US or UK, decimal or 1,024 — then trust the number.

Governing formula

m/s = ft/s × 0.3048.

88 ft/s → 26.82 m/s (60 mph). 32.17 ft/s² is g, not this page — that is acceleration.

Example: set Feet per second = 88, then read the result.
