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 5280 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 5280 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

5280 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5280 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4811.8985126898 ft/s

The final result is:

5280 km/h → 4811.8985126898 ft/s

We conclude that 5280 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4811.8985126898 feet per second:
