A brisk walking pace is about 1.4 m/s. An Olympic 100 m sprinter peaks above 12 m/s. In feet per second, that gives you: 1 m/s = 3.28084 ft/s, 10 m/s = 32.8084 ft/s, 100 m/s = 328.084 ft/s.
The meter per second (m/s) is the SI derived unit of speed. It is the preferred unit in physics, engineering, and any scientific context. The speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 m/s, which is how the meter itself is now defined.
The foot per second (ft/s, fps) equals exactly 0.3048 m/s. It is common in US ballistics (muzzle velocity), engineering (fluid flow, elevator speed), and physics classrooms as an imperial alternative to mph.
