Convert foot/minute to yard/second
Please provide values below to convert foot/minute [ft/min] to yard/second [yd/s], or Convert yard/second to foot/minute.
1 ft/min = 0.00555555555556 yd/s. To convert foot/minute to yard/second, multiply the value by 0.00555555555556; to go the other way, divide by it (1 yd/s = 180 ft/min). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ft/min = 0.00555555555556 yd/s
- 1 yd/s = 180 ft/min
- 10 ft/min = 0.0555555555556 yd/s
- 100 ft/min = 0.555555555556 yd/s
How to Convert Foot/minute to Yard/second
1 ft/min = 0.00555555555555556 yd/s
Example: convert 15 ft/min to yd/s:
15 ft/min = 15 × 0.00555555555555556 yd/s = 0.0833333333333333 yd/s

Foot/minute
Foot per minute (ft/min) is a unit of speed representing the number of feet traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The foot per minute has been used historically in engineering and construction to measure speed, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, ft/min is primarily used in fields such as HVAC, ventilation, and certain engineering applications to measure airflow or movement speed where imperial units are preferred.
Yard/second
Yard per second (yd/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one yard traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The yard has been used as a unit of length since the 12th century, primarily in the UK and the US. The yard/second as a speed unit emerged with the adoption of the yard in measurement systems, but it is less common than other units like meters per second.
Current Use
Yard per second is occasionally used in fields such as aviation, sports, and engineering within the United States and the UK for measuring speeds where imperial units are preferred.
