About Meter per Second (m/s)
The SI derived unit of speed, meters per second is the standard in physics and engineering for expressing velocities. Wind speeds in scientific contexts, projectile velocities, and fluid flow rates are measured in m/s. The speed of sound at sea level is approximately 343 m/s.
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.
