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 278 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 278 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

278 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 278 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 253.35374744844 ft/s

The final result is:

278 km/h → 253.35374744844 ft/s

We conclude that 278 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 253.35374744844 feet per second:

278 kilometers per hour = 253.35374744844 feet per second
