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.
Yard/Minute (yd/min)
A yard per minute is used in sports coaching, physical training, and some industrial processes. Coaches may track a swimmer's or runner's speed informally using yards per minute, especially in regions where yard-based pools or tracks still exist. Certain fabric and material-feed systems also use yd/min to specify production speed, as textiles and printing industries historically measured length in yards. The unit bridges athletic training and industrial applications in imperial-unit contexts.
