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 15.8 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 15.8 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

15.8 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 15.8 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 14.399241761458 ft/s

The final result is:

15.8 km/h → 14.399241761458 ft/s

We conclude that 15.8 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 14.399241761458 feet per second:

15.8 kilometers per hour = 14.399241761458 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 0.069448101265767 × 15.8 kilometers per hour.
