About Converting ft/s to Yard per Seconds
ft/s and Yard per Seconds both describe speed, and the conversion matters whenever a maritime or aviation speed (knots) needs to be compared against a road speed (mph). Specifically: Feet per second, and distance divided by time.
Formula
yard per seconds = ft/s × 0.333333333333
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 ft/s equals 0.3048 base units, and 1 yard per seconds equals 0.9144 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ft/s-to-yard per seconds factor of 0.333333333333.
Simple example
1 ft/s × 0.3333333333 = 0.3333333333 yd/s
1 ft/s = 0.3333333333 yard per seconds.
Real-world example
10 ft/s × 0.3333333333 = 3.333333333 yd/s
10 ft/s = 3.333333333 yard per seconds.
