Foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed that indicates how many feet are traveled in one second.
History
The foot has its origins in ancient human measurements, and the second is based on the division of hours. The combination of these units for speed became prevalent in the United States and the UK.
Current Use
Feet per second is often used in engineering, construction, and some sports contexts, particularly in the United States.
