Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to feet per second is 0.91134441528215, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.91134441528215 feet per second:

1 km/h = 0.91134441528215 ft/s

To convert 1.7 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 1.7 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.91134441528215 ft/s

1.7 km/h → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 1.7 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1.5492855059797 ft/s

The final result is:

1.7 km/h → 1.5492855059797 ft/s

We conclude that 1.7 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1.5492855059797 feet per second:

1.7 kilometers per hour = 1.5492855059797 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.6454588235289 × 1.7 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 1.7 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.6454588235289 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one point seven kilometers per hour is approximately one point five four nine feet per second:

1.7 km/h ≅ 1.549 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point six four five times one point seven kilometers per hour.
