Foot per Second

$\textit{foot per second}$ (plural $\textit{feet per second}$) is a unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity, which includes direction). It expresses the distance in feet ($ft$) traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds ($s$, or $sec$). The corresponding unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the $\textit{metre per second}$. Abbreviations include $ft/s$, $ft/sec$ and $fps$, and the rarely used scientific notation $ft\,s$.
