Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to kilometers per hour is 1.0972799999991, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 1.0972799999991 kilometers per hour:

1 ft/s = 1.0972799999991 km/h

To convert 6000 feet per second into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 6000 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 1.0972799999991 km/h

6000 ft/s → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 6000 ft/s × 1.0972799999991 km/h

V_(km/h) = 6583.6799999947 km/h

The final result is:

6000 ft/s → 6583.6799999947 km/h

We conclude that 6000 feet per second is equivalent to 6583.6799999947 kilometers per hour:

6000 feet per second = 6583.6799999947 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.00015189073588036 × 6000 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 6000 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00015189073588036 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six thousand feet per second is approximately six thousand five hundred eighty-three point six eight kilometers per hour:

6000 ft/s ≅ 6583.68 km/h

An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero times six thousand feet per second.
