Convert mile/second to foot/minute
Please provide values below to convert mile/second [mi/s] to foot/minute [ft/min], or Convert foot/minute to mile/second.
1 mi/s = 316800 ft/min. To convert mile/second to foot/minute, multiply the value by 316800; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ft/min = 3.15656565657e-06 mi/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 mi/s = 316800 ft/min
- 1 ft/min = 3.15656565657e-06 mi/s
- 10 mi/s = 3168000 ft/min
- 100 mi/s = 31680000 ft/min
How to Convert Mile/second to Foot/minute
1 mi/s = 316800 ft/min
Example: convert 15 mi/s to ft/min:
15 mi/s = 15 × 316800 ft/min = 4752000 ft/min

Mile/second
A mile per second (mi/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one mile traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The mile per second has been used primarily in scientific contexts, especially in astronomy and physics, to measure extremely high velocities such as those of celestial objects. Its usage has been limited due to the convenience of metric units in scientific measurement.
Current Use
Today, the mile per second is mainly used in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and space science, to describe high-velocity phenomena like the speed of spacecraft, stars, or other celestial bodies.
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.
