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 1297 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 1297 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

1297 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1297 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1182.013706621 ft/s

The final result is:

1297 km/h → 1182.013706621 ft/s

We conclude that 1297 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1182.013706621 feet per second:
