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 53.8 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 53.8 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

53.8 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 53.8 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 49.03032954218 ft/s

The final result is:

53.8 km/h → 49.03032954218 ft/s

We conclude that 53.8 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 49.03032954218 feet per second:

53.8 kilometers per hour = 49.03032954218 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.020395539033441 × 53.8 kilometers per hour.
