About these units
Foot/Second (ft/s)
The foot per second is an imperial speed unit used in engineering, ballistics, aviation, and certain sports sciences. It expresses the number of feet traveled per second. Ballistics experts use ft/s to measure bullet velocities and projectile speeds, particularly in countries with strong imperial-unit traditions. Engineers may use ft/s in fluid flow calculations or mechanical system design when working with legacy data. Although ft/s is rarely seen in daily life, it remains relevant in niche disciplines where imperial units dominate, offering a smaller, more precise scale than mph.
Meter/Minute (m/min)
A meter per minute reflects slow but practical speeds for human or mechanical movement. At 1 m/min, motion is deliberate and controlled—appropriate for precision machining, automated stage equipment, or calibration systems. In exercise science, treadmill incline adjustments, warm-up activity, and walking machines may use m/min for exact gait-speed research. The simplicity of dividing by minutes rather than hours makes the unit useful for short-interval calculations in engineering and ergonomics.
