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 5042 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 5042 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

5042 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5042 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4594.9985418526 ft/s

The final result is:

5042 km/h → 4594.9985418526 ft/s

We conclude that 5042 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4594.9985418526 feet per second:
