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 179 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 179 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

179 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 179 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 163.13065033551 ft/s

The final result is:

179 km/h → 163.13065033551 ft/s

We conclude that 179 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 163.13065033551 feet per second:
