40 kilometers per hour in feet per second (40 km/h to ft/s)

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 40 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 40 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

40 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 40 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 36.453776611286 ft/s

The final result is:

40 km/h → 36.453776611286 ft/s

We conclude that 40 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 36.453776611286 feet per second:

40 kilometers per hour = 36.453776611286 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 0.027431999999978 × 40 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 40 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.027431999999978 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty kilometers per hour is approximately thirty-six point four five four feet per second:

40 km/h ≅ 36.454 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two seven times forty 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.
