Unit Information

Meter per second (m/s)

Definition

The meter per second (symbol: m/s) is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity). It is defined as the distance in meters traveled divided by the time in seconds. It is the base unit of speed in many scientific systems.

Current Use

The meter per second is used globally in scientific, engineering, and technical contexts. It is the primary unit for velocity in physics and is used to define other derived units such as the force of a Newton or the energy of a Joule.

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).
