How many feet per second in 117 kilometers per hour?

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 117 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 117 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

117 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 117 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 106.62729658801 ft/s

The final result is:

117 km/h → 106.62729658801 ft/s

We conclude that 117 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 106.62729658801 feet per second:

117 kilometers per hour = 106.62729658801 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 0.009378461538454 × 117 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 117 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.009378461538454 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

117 km/h ≅ 106.627 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero nine times one hundred seventeen kilometers per hour.

Conversion units

The units involved in this conversion are kilometers per hour and feet per second. This is how they are defined:

Kilometer per hour

The kilometre per hour (American English: kilometer per hour) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of kilometres travelled in one hour. The unit symbol is km/h. Worldwide, it is the most commonly used unit of speed on road signs and car speedometers. Although the metre was formally defined in 1799, the term "kilometres per hour" did not come into immediate use – the myriametre (10,000 metres) and myriametre per hour were preferred to kilometres and kilometres per hour.

Foot per second

The foot per second (plural 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 metre per second. Abbreviations include ft/s, ft/sec and fps, and the rarely used scientific notation ft s−1.
