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 478 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 478 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

478 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 478 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 435.62263050487 ft/s

The final result is:

478 km/h → 435.62263050487 ft/s

We conclude that 478 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 435.62263050487 feet per second:

478 kilometers per hour = 435.62263050487 feet per second
