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 497 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 497 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

497 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 497 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 452.93817439523 ft/s

The final result is:

497 km/h → 452.93817439523 ft/s

We conclude that 497 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 452.93817439523 feet per second:
