Convert foot/second to yard/hour
Please provide values below to convert foot/second [ft/s] to yard/hour [yd/h], or Convert yard/hour to foot/second.
1 ft/s = 1200 yd/h. To convert foot/second to yard/hour, multiply the value by 1200; to go the other way, divide by it (1 yd/h = 0.000833333333333 ft/s). 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/s = 1200 yd/h
- 1 yd/h = 0.000833333333333 ft/s
- 10 ft/s = 12000 yd/h
- 100 ft/s = 120000 yd/h
How to Convert Foot/second to Yard/hour
1 ft/s = 1200 yd/h
Example: convert 15 ft/s to yd/h:
15 ft/s = 15 × 1200 yd/h = 18000 yd/h

Foot/second
Foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The foot per second has been used historically in engineering, physics, and aeronautics, originating from the imperial measurement system where the foot is a standard unit of length. Its usage predates the metric system and has been common in the United States and other countries using imperial units.
Current Use
Today, ft/s is primarily used in fields such as physics, engineering, and aviation to measure speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. It is also used in sports and safety standards related to speed measurements.
Yard/hour
Yard per hour (yd/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one yard traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The yard has been a traditional unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, and units like yard per hour have historically been used for measuring slow speeds, especially in contexts like textiles and manufacturing. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Yard per hour is rarely used today, primarily in specialized or historical contexts. It may still be referenced in certain industries or for conversions involving imperial units, but it is largely replaced by metric units such as meters per second or kilometers per hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 foot/second in yard/hour?
1 foot/second (ft/s) = 1200 yard/hour (yd/h).
How do you convert foot/second to yard/hour?
