Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to kilometers per hour is 1.0972799999991, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 1.0972799999991 kilometers per hour:

1 ft/s = 1.0972799999991 km/h

To convert 508 feet per second into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 508 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 1.0972799999991 km/h

508 ft/s → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 508 ft/s × 1.0972799999991 km/h

V_(km/h) = 557.41823999955 km/h

The final result is:

508 ft/s → 557.41823999955 km/h

We conclude that 508 feet per second is equivalent to 557.41823999955 kilometers per hour:
