Convert Metres per second to Feet per second
1 metre per second is 3.28084 ft/s. One metre per second is exactly 3.28083989501 feet per second.
One metre per second is 3.2808399 feet per second. To convert metres per second to feet per second, multiply by 3.2808399; to go the other way, divide by 3.2808399 or multiply by 0.3048. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. The SI unit of speed, and the one physics is done in.
