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 542 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 542 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

542 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 542 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 493.94867308293 ft/s

The final result is:

542 km/h → 493.94867308293 ft/s

We conclude that 542 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 493.94867308293 feet per second:

542 kilometers per hour = 493.94867308293 feet per second
