About Foot per Second (ft/s)

Used primarily in ballistics, fluid dynamics, and some US engineering applications, feet per second measures relatively slow speeds in imperial units. Bullet muzzle velocities are commonly given in fps (e.g., 2,800 fps for a rifle round), and elevator speeds in tall buildings are often specified in feet per second.

About Knot (kn)

Equal to one nautical mile per hour (1.852 km/h), the knot is the universal speed unit in maritime and aviation navigation. Its name comes from the historical practice of measuring a ship's speed by counting knots on a rope paid out over a fixed time. Tropical storm and hurricane wind speeds are reported in knots internationally.
