Unit Information

Foot per second (ft/s)

Definition

The foot per second (symbol: ft/s or fps) is a unit of both speed and velocity. It expresses the distance in feet traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds. It is equal to exactly 0.3048 meters per second.

Current Use

Foot per second is used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom in various engineering fields, ballistics, and to measure the speed of sound in certain materials. It is also a common unit in computer science for frames per second (though the 'fps' acronym refers to frames, not feet, in that context).

Kilometer per hour (km/h)

Definition

The kilometer per hour (symbol: km/h) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of kilometers traveled in one hour. One kilometer per hour is equivalent to approximately 0.27778 meters per second or 0.62137 miles per hour.

Current Use

Kilometers per hour is the most common unit used for road speed limits and vehicle speeds in most of the world where the metric system is adopted. It is also used in rail transport and general travel measurements in most countries.
