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 5180 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 5180 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

5180 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5180 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4720.7640711615 ft/s

The final result is:

5180 km/h → 4720.7640711615 ft/s

We conclude that 5180 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4720.7640711615 feet per second:

5180 kilometers per hour = 4720.7640711615 feet per second
