Convert foot/second to yard/second
Please provide values below to convert foot/second [ft/s] to yard/second [yd/s], or Convert yard/second to foot/second.
1 ft/s = 0.333333333333 yd/s. To convert foot/second to yard/second, multiply the value by 0.333333333333; to go the other way, divide by it (1 yd/s = 3 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 = 0.333333333333 yd/s
- 1 yd/s = 3 ft/s
- 10 ft/s = 3.33333333333 yd/s
- 100 ft/s = 33.3333333333 yd/s
How to Convert Foot/second to Yard/second
1 ft/s = 0.333333333333333 yd/s
Example: convert 15 ft/s to yd/s:
15 ft/s = 15 × 0.333333333333333 yd/s = 5 yd/s

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/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.
