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 480 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 480 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

480 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 480 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 437.44531933543 ft/s

The final result is:

480 km/h → 437.44531933543 ft/s

We conclude that 480 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 437.44531933543 feet per second:

480 kilometers per hour = 437.44531933543 feet per second
