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 5170 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 5170 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

5170 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5170 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4711.6506270087 ft/s

The final result is:

5170 km/h → 4711.6506270087 ft/s

We conclude that 5170 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4711.6506270087 feet per second:
