Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to kilometers per hour is 1.0972799999991, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 1.0972799999991 kilometers per hour:

1 ft/s = 1.0972799999991 km/h

To convert 4700 feet per second into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 4700 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 1.0972799999991 km/h

4700 ft/s → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 4700 ft/s × 1.0972799999991 km/h

V_(km/h) = 5157.2159999959 km/h

The final result is:

4700 ft/s → 5157.2159999959 km/h

We conclude that 4700 feet per second is equivalent to 5157.2159999959 kilometers per hour:
