About Foot per Second and Mile per Hour

Detailed information about both units of measurement.

IMPERIAL UNIT

Foot per Second

ft/s
Definition
Speed expressed in feet traveled per second. Used in US engineering and physics.
SI / Standard Information
Defined relative to m/s: 1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s exactly. Commonly used in US ballistics and engineering.
Approximate Comparison
1 ft/s is about 0.68 mph or 1.1 km/h — a slow walking pace.
Practical Applications
  • US engineering and physics problems
  • HVAC air velocity measurement
  • US ballistics and firearm muzzle velocity
  • Roller coaster speed specification
Real-World Examples
  • A fast elevator travels at about 10 ft/s
  • A bullet muzzle velocity is about 2,500-4,000 ft/s
  • A person walking briskly moves at about 5 ft/s
IMPERIAL UNIT

Mile per Hour

mph
Definition
Speed expressed in miles traveled per hour. The standard road speed unit in the US and UK.
SI / Standard Information
Defined relative to km/h: 1 mph = 1.609344 km/h. Used in the US, UK, and some Caribbean nations for road speeds.
Approximate Comparison
60 mph is roughly 97 km/h or about the speed of a cheetah in full sprint.
Practical Applications
  • US road speed limits and signage
  • US vehicle speedometers
  • US weather hurricane wind speeds
  • Baseball pitching speed measurement
Real-World Examples
  • US highway speeds are typically 55-75 mph
  • A fast baseball pitch is about 95-100 mph
  • The speed limit in residential areas is usually 25 mph
