About Converting Yard per Seconds to ft/s
Yard per Seconds and ft/s both describe speed, and the conversion matters whenever a maritime or aviation speed (knots) needs to be compared against a road speed (mph). Specifically: Distance divided by time, and feet per second.
Formula
ft/s = yard per seconds × 3
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 yard per seconds equals 0.9144 base units, and 1 ft/s equals 0.3048 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct yard per seconds-to-ft/s factor of 3.
Simple example
1 yd/s × 3 = 3 ft/s
1 yard per seconds = 3 ft/s.
Real-world example
10 yd/s × 3 = 30 ft/s
10 yard per seconds = 30 ft/s.
