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 48.6 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 48.6 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

48.6 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 48.6 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 44.291338582713 ft/s

The final result is:

48.6 km/h → 44.291338582713 ft/s

We conclude that 48.6 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 44.291338582713 feet per second:

48.6 kilometers per hour = 44.291338582713 feet per second

Alternative conversion
