0.508m/s
That's 39× as fast as a garden snail, while a walking person is 2.8× faster. In one minute you'd cover 30.48 m.
What it means
How fast is that?
Reference speeds are typical values. Mach uses the speed of sound in dry air at 20 °C (343 m/s).
The math
How to convert ft/min to m/s
To convert feet per minute to meters per second, multiply by 0.00508.
Example: 100 ft/min × 0.00508 = 0.508 m/s.
In the other direction, 1 m/s = 196.85 ft/min.
