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 509 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 509 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

509 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 509 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 463.87430737862 ft/s

The final result is:

509 km/h → 463.87430737862 ft/s

We conclude that 509 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 463.87430737862 feet per second:

509 kilometers per hour = 463.87430737862 feet per second
